For those who, like me, looked at the original painting and wondered how many people have recreated Mondrians in Lego, the answer is: many people.

I'm not sure why everyone else is downvoting you, but I was really tempted to when I saw that you didn't include any links to Lego Mondrians!

Am guy in first photo, can confirm Mondrian is one of the easiest works of art to recreate in LEGO. Especially when compared to a Seurat :) https://andybauch.com/8-bit-art-history/jk81orw38npc4cx4as24...

Here's another guy that put a creative spin on LEGO painting: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/02/lego-piet-mondrian/

Gotta love the internet! Post an obscure comment, reply with a cool picture found from a 30 second google, person in the first picture finds the obscure comment on the obscure article and says hi!

This article missed a great opportunity to mention Piet, an esoteric programming language that you write by creating Mondrian-style paintings: http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet/samples.html

The Pi calculator is particularly brilliant: "Naturally, a more accurate value can be obtained by using a bigger program."
