Ives-Sillman, Inc., was one of few publishers to produce serigraph prints in monograph portfolios.  For two decades, 1958 until Ives’s death in 1978, Norman Ives and Sewell Sillman published monograph portfolios of noted artist Josef Albers, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Piet Mondrian, Diter Rot, and others.


Piet Mondrian (1877-1944), was a Dutch painter.  Although he is best known for his abstract paintings made from squares and rectangles, Piet Mondrian started out painting impressionistic landscape paintings.  Mondrian called his style of geometric abstracts “Neoplasticism”.  When Mondrian made his paintings, he would always mix his own colors, never using the paint directly out of a tube.  As a founder of the "De Stijl" school, he often used black, white and the primary colors: red, yellow and blue.  Mondrian's skill was precise, and he did not use a ruler to measure out his lines.  In 1940, towards the end of his life, Mondrian moved to New York City, and there created some of his most iconic works.  He is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
