"Pure abstract art
has grown directly from the culture and
refinement of mundane life; from culture—imperfect as it may be. It
does not come directly from isolated philosophical or religious
thinking of feeling. Fashion has a deep meaning: fashion is cultural
expression. Although it may be an exteriorization, like the various
forms of art, it nevertheless shows inner content."
-Piet Mondrian, A Note on Fashion, 1930
