Topic: Piet Mondrian and some serendipitous finds

I was reading about the artist Piet Mondrian and his art.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Mondrian

In the section on References in culture

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Mond … in_culture

there is a link to a computer language named Piet.

Piet is an esoteric programming language named after Piet Mondrian in which programs look like abstract art.

From there, a reference to

https://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet.html

and a link to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_ … guage#Piet

On that same web page is the following.

There is a link to the following web page.

Re: Piet Mondrian and some serendipitous finds

Also in the wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Mondrian

is the following:

An episode of the BBC TV drama Hustle entitled "Picture Perfect" is about the team attempting to create and sell a Mondrian forgery. To do so, they must steal a real Mondrian (Composition with Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black, 1921) from an art gallery.

As it happens that episode is currently available on BBC iplayer for those who can access BBC iplayer.

I have been trying to find Composition with Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black, 1921 on the web, thus far without success. I have found various Mondrian pictures that have similar titles, but not that exact one. Does it actually exist?

There’s a ‘Composition with Blue, Red, Yellow and Black’ dated 1922 rather than 1921 (and, of course, the date isn’t part of the title).
