It is an oil on canvas, 50x50", and was the penultimate painting of its creator. The painting was influenced by the syncopation, melodic freedom, and improvisation of a certain music style that the artist encountered upon fleeing Europe with the outbreak of World War II. Providing the visual backdrop for this piece was the dynamic architecture of his city of asylum, which contributed to the replacement of a black grid with yellow lines intersecting with squares of blue and red, which seem to emulate a street scene as viewed from an apartment suite. FTP, what is this painting, which depicts an urban layout with the movement of traffic, electric lights and jazz rhythms, one of the seminal works of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian?
