Last year, Leopold and the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague started a series of art picture books, with Keepvogel en Kijkvogel in het spoor van Mondriaan (Keepvogel and Kijkvogel on the Trail of Mondrian) as the second volume. Van Reek’s graphic, computer-generated illustrations perfectly complement Mondrian’s vivid palette and abstract style. As Van Reek sends his characters on a journey through a world made up entirely of Mondrian colours, the artist’s famous paintings come to life: from Mill in Sunlight and Red Tree to the uncompleted Victory Boogie Woogie. The playful illustra­tions follow Mondrian’s development from a landscape painter in the tradition of the Hague School to a master of abstract art. The amus­ing and imaginative conclusion takes the char­acters to Kijkvogel’s studio, where Keepvogel completes the artist’s last painting to the swinging sounds of the boogie-woogie.
