...Thunderbird-like roof, will also square off its 1962 rear end-irreverently known in Detroit as the "duck butt." The Valiant, adding a convertible to its line, will grow 2 in. and abandon the European styling it has worn for the past three years in favor of more rectangular lines. In a confusing exchange of identities, this year's Dart will grow 6 in. (to an overall length of 208 in.) and be rechristened the Dodge, while what is now called the Lancer will grow 7 in.

But in time Mondrian came to feel that these rectangular planes were too dominating and would somehow have to be destroyed. His solution was to drain the color from the rectangle and pour it into the lines. The unhampered play between the verticals and horizontals then seemed to produce a kind of rhythm, a "dynamic equilibrium" that was like the pulse of life...
