Mondriaan's Victory Boogie Woogie: his last work under the microscope.
The research focused on one of the most important art works of the 20th century: Victory Boogie Woogie, the last work of Piet Mondriaan (1942-1944).
The aim was to trace the history of development of this painting through historical and technical research. As Mondriaan did not finish the work, it is possible to look quite a way back in time using microscopy.
The evolution this painting underwent tells much about Mondriaan's thinking and work process. In addition, the restoration history was investigated and a simulation of the layer structure was made using the Geographical Information System CARTA. All the analytical and photographic information is compiled in this system.
