The Victory Boogie Woogie is the last unfinished work by the Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian. Here's some information about it:
- Unveiled in 1944: Though left unfinished, it was created between 1943 and 1944 [1].
- Abstract style: It follows Mondrian's signature abstract style, featuring a grid with black lines and squares of red, yellow, blue, and white [1].
- Inspired by music and New York City: The title and the energetic composition are thought to be influenced by boogie-woogie music, a fast-paced jazz style popular at the time, as well as the dynamic energy of New York City, where Mondrian lived during his later years [3, 4].
- Symbolizing Victory: The title also reflects Mondrian's hope for Allied victory in World War II [3].
- Currently on Display: The painting is currently part of the collection at the Kunstmuseum in The Hague, Netherlands [2].
