- philjohn 4y agoYou may jest, but it does feel more "right" to me, although maybe that's bias from knowing it's the "right" way up.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoWhen I opened the page I thought the right one looked "better" to me, but I didn't think it was the right one, I then saw the labels incorrect and correct. I think the reason that the correct one looks correct is because that is busier on the top which, if you look at the tops first the busier more complicated one gives a feeling of more energy.

- actionfromafar 4y agoThe "right" one looks like a 3D lattice to me, the left one looks like a bunch of tape on a piece of cloth.
- Rastonbury 4y agoYeah I wish they'd shown both and hidden which was correct and incorrect at first. Also if it's adhesive it will fail eventually won't it, they'd need to stick it back anyway I guess flip it over then
- maest 4y agoI would've assumed the left one was the correct version, as it has more weight on the bottom. For most humans, it feels natural to have negative space/light colours above (air, sky etc) and content/dark colours at the bottom (earth, gravel etc). Having all the weight at the top of the piece makes it feel imbalanced - like a top-heavy object ready to topple over (which was maybe intentional, in this case)
- morelisp 4y agoMondrian painted primarily trees, so I would expect the top to be heavier in most of them.
- uri4 4y agoNo, in 20nyears we discover colors should face the wall, real painting is blank canvas on other side :)
- pcthrowaway 4y agoAnd in another 20 we'll realize the blank canvas isn't actually blank, you just have to look at it with a black light
