PIET MONDRIAN-Frumkin, 32 East 57th. Mondrian depicted nature-before he stripped it to its bare essentials-in scenes of Dutch windmills, rivers and forests. These drawings and oils, done between 1905 and 1908, show keen insights and rhythmic vitality in a self-assured style, but offer little indication of the plastic purist he was to become (through May 23). For that, see "Mondrian, De Stijl and Their Impact," at Marlborough-Gerson, 41 East 57th, where his spatial austerity and its potential for beauty is fully realized in his own and in the works of 22 followers.

With a fine feeling for materials, he instills inanimate objects with Geist, then wrenches from them a whole range of emotions. His Soft Telephone, its mouthpiece dangling, its coin box regurgitating, is a sad sack in shiny black vinyl. A Soft Typewriter, its pearly Plexiglas keys hopelessly entangled, collapses into its shell with the mortification of a machine that suddenly finds itself ready for IBM's junk heap. Other objects in 22 materials along with some drawings. Through...
