 Piet Mondrian’s goal with this painting was to emphasize the modernist art movement by displaying its fundamentals. He utilized the singular color of red to create an emphasis on black lines and the negative space around it. It creates a focus on the red and also you see that there is a lack of symmetry that puts the observer a little on edge.

 Josef Albers, the artist of this piece, was entranced by the way things are perceived. His purpose for this piece was to challenge our ability to distinguish the background from what the observer is supposed to actually be looking at. The blue and shadowing also challenge the observer to understand the 3-dimensional shape the painter is trying to depict. Many of his visions were brought to fruition by the environment around him at the Black Mountain College in North Carolina.

 ===Claude Monet===
 Based on his Japanese-style water-garden in his home, Monet painted the piece ''Water-Lilies.'' The piece verges on abstraction, though key features of the pond can be made out such as the lily pads. This is one of the later pieces in his collection of water-lily paintings that he started in 1897, as it was created in 1916. This is also one of the more abstract pieces lacking more of the contrast of his earlier pieces.
