Week 183, Piet Mondrian delivery


As much as the Spanish Inquisition was generally expected, this pastiche of Piet Mondrian was unexpected.

The delivery of the avant-garde.


Fun fact number one - 

After Mondrian moved from the Netherlands to join the Parisian avant-garde he dropped an 'a' from his name.


Fun fact number two - 

These boxes contain a type of fastener referred to as an 'anchoring system', colloquially they are Hilti bolts.


Fun fact number three - 

Aardvark is not the first word in the modern dictionary, and neither is Mondriaan.


Fun fact number four - 

The avant-garde may be considered modernist and 'old hat' yet it continues to appear when unforeseen.


Fun fact number five -

People almost always already know most of the 'facts' on those website lists of 'things you didn't know'.


Bonus fun fact - 

'a', the indefinite article and the first item listed in the dictionary, has more than a score definitions.
