Piet Mondrian is the
apartment wall facing Melbourne High School oval. In July mud boys kick and
army boys eyes-right all over the oval, but Mondrian looks down. When Birrarung
flooded billabongs filled where boys run beneath the steady gaze of Mondrian
and his overpriced squares of South Yarra living space. Dark greens and churned
blacks of school oval are local palette beneath exotic reds and yellows of the
mathematical Dutchman. Towers in greys of surpassing blandness arise and
cluster around crenellated Melbourne High, but for the wonderfully white façade
of the insuperably serious, implacably quadrilateral, primarily colourful Piet
Mondrian.
