This Demonstration involves distortions of shapes inspired by Piet Mondrian's creations in neoplasticism. By playing with different combinations of the three controls, you can make the cube bounce and undulate. You can also look at its component parts by clicking the different-colored squares. You can thereby study an interactive, three-dimensional simulation of Mondrian's art style.
