Making life as a work of art

Sometimes small changes can bring about big changes - at least that's what Helena Horn shows us with her book How Mondrian can change your life. Downshifting – the new simplicity”. The question naturally arises: What has Art to do with time management? A lot, we found.

Art is more than just a splash of color on the walls of museums. Art can renew everyday life and Sinn donate for a lifetime. That also applies to People, which so far little Fun at exhibitions and thick illustrated books. Helena Horn dedicates her book How Mondrian Can Change Your Life to them.

12 eras and styles with life-planning messages

The author picks out 12 works from different epochs and styles in order to explain their implicit message for life planning and design.

Visual artists are, of course, here as Mondrian, Monet, Warhol, but also acting (Fellini, Chaplin), architecture (Bauhaus), cookery (Adria) and music (Stravinsky) serve as inspiration sources.

Just throw ballast

It is no coincidence that the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian gave the book its name. With his life's work, Mondrian stands for purism and clear structures. Horn translates the “new simplicity” to the everyday life of people in the consumer and affluent society.

Buying useless luxury goods does not make you free. But let go of old objects and habits. “Throwing off ballast,” says the author, creates a “great depth effect”: “With the process of tidying up, we shed our skin and partedly parted from our old identity.”

Set yourself free!

Clarity, calmness and deceleration are the central motifs of their reflections, which are plausibly derived from the different works of art. There would be:

• Stravinsky's music as a source of inspiration for a new sense of tempo and slowness,
• Charlie Chaplin as the guiding figure for a new relationship to one's own work
• and Monet as a critic of Freizeitstress

Courage to re-adjust your own goals

These are fresh semantic links that whet your appetite. On art and on re-adjustments of one's goals and views.

Conclusion: "How Mondrian Can Change Your Life" is a clever, gentle book about the silent messages of art that you perceive when you listen carefully and look. Helena Horn did a great job.
