Reflection

Mondrian's painting was very simple to recreate digitally due to its minimalistic nature, so I think the style of his work was converted pretty seamlessly between digital and analog media. To me, the digital representation has the same feeling of purity, cleanliness, and balance, even though it lacks the details of the brush strokes and layered colors. On the other hand, I animated the lines with the intent of emphasizing the dynamism of the asymmetrical gridlines, but after seeing the finished product, I think that the movement actually detracts from the calming effect of the original painting. I found it interesting that as Mondrian's style changed and developed over the course of his life, his paintings became more and more apt for digital reproduction.
