Piet Mondrian

Piet Mondrian was born in the 1800s and did a style of art he named neo-plastisism which was a type of abstract using boxes and the primary colors;


He was a great fan of Picasso and said that he was influenced by him, however I can't really see the connection of both their art works except maybe the abstract. The closest piece of artwork done by Picasso the some what seems Mondrian might have based his works off of was called 'Dove Of Peace Puzzle';

Going back to Mondrian,  
he traveled to many places such as Paris, where he fell in love with ballroom dancing,  The Netherlands, where he was born (1872), London and New york where he finally died of pneumonia  (1944).



Until 1906 he was actually called Mondriaan but then he changed it to Mondrian to fit in, but really, it's just an a and it sounds the same with or without it, so taking it out, kind of pointless.


Finally, one thing not many people would know or guess was he was on a diet called the 'Haye Diet' as you can probably guess, created by Dr. Haye. It's a very strict diet, so when you think about it he went to Paris, OK think of all the food, but all his friends said he was very loyal to it.

Those some of the more interesting facts about Piet Mondrian.

Russia's Anti-Gay Bill

Russia passed an Anti-Gay bill in June as well as banning single people from countries where gay marriages are legal from adopting Russian children. Now I would say that most people these days are fine with gay marriages and realize that it is anyone's choice to be gay or not, I admit there are still people in our wold today that think that gay is bad, honestly how self-absorbed and oblivious would you have to be.

This law also made many people going to the Olympics had to think twice, many people going to the Olympics are gay so Russia had to pass another law letting gay Olympians into the Olympics, That would have to be a little embarrassing I think.
It is approximated that around 10% of the worlds population it gay.

  
This chart represents all the countries that allow or recognize gay marriages, I wonder if Russia would see this and realize they are very very wrong about gay people, they are still people they just choose to be with people of the same gender.
I also think that may people from Russia would be okay without the Anti-Gay bill, but all it takes is a few people in government who have a bad opinion who can pass a bill , so really do they still think it's okay? it's not.
