Martine Jacobs — Mondrian’s Window (1998) A rare historical work where Mondrian’s iconic grid is interrupted by a reclining human figure. Jacobs explores the tension between modernist abstraction and the vulnerability of the body, merging painting, collage, and conceptual practice into a striking phygital artwork. #Art #ContemporaryArt #DigitalArt #CryptoArt #ArtHistory #NFT #Phygital
