Some people meditate.
Some people run.
Some people stare at a Pollock for 20 minutes and feel their soul shift.

Happy birthday to Piet Mondrian, who was born on this day in 1872. Working with only the most basic elements—straight lines and primary colors—Mondrian strove to create pure objective art that he believed would change the world.

Born February 19, 1876, Constantin Brancusi reshaped sculpture with his bold simplicity. A pioneer of Modernism, his work continues to redefine form and feeling. Happy Birthday Brancusi!
