La dieta di Mondrian: trovare la forma giusta per stare bene

What does an abstract artist have to do with dieting to find the right shape? Perhaps Piet Mondrian can show us the importance of letting go of everything we no longer need, that has become inessential and that weighs us down needlessly. This applies to the objects we accumulate around us, ending up forgetting about them and not even seeing them anymore. But it applies to people, relationships, and the things that truly matter. We need to decide to declutter, let go, eliminate, empty ourselves, often even of a painful past that weighs on us. This is what Mondrian does with the striptease of his apple tree, progressively more naked and essential, until it becomes abstract. With summer approaching, it's time to start opening our closets and starting to shed those extra pounds of clothes, extra objects, and existential burdens. This way, we'll be in shape, whatever that means, for our summer swimsuit and society test. I call it "the Mondrian diet," and research says that those who shed weight, those who let go, live longer and age more slowly. In short: Mondrian and the elixir of long life! The Tree Series.
