Abstract

Peter Mondrian (1872-1944) is a representative of abstract expressionism, whose paintings and thoughts still play an important role in art. Through the study of Mondrian's life and painting style changes, it can be seen that his visual language has changed from the realistic representation of visual objects to the use of pure colors and absolute lines, which can be distinguished by the level of visual nerve activity. According to the performance characteristics of Mondrian's painting, this study first divides the artistic change process into three stages: learning period, exploration period and mature period. Then, based on the research of cognitive neuroscience, the symmetrical neural structure of Mondrian's three-stage painting style is explored in the painter's neural activities. The learning period adopts the neural learning mechanism of imitating the expression of painting, and the exploration period uses the neural mechanism of creating painting style. While, the mature period carries out the neural mechanism of forming pictures through cognitive structure. Finally, this paper analyzes the different visual processing mechanisms and aesthetic preference structures used by viewers to appreciate Mondrian figurative paintings and abstract paintings based on the research in the field of neuroaesthetics.
 From the perspective of natural science, this study explains the style changes of Mondrian's paintings, establishing a neuroaesthetic interpretation method, so as to deeply understand the charm of his works, further understand the beauty. Therefore, it can provide reference materials for the later art education of his works.
