    Mondrian came to New York City in the 1940s, and the city's real-world grid-like street design inspired him to create his famous Broadway Boogie-Woogie series, composed of primary colors arranged in sequential squares. Mitchell Funk's photograph of a boarded-up 42nd street composed of flat panels of solid color pays homage to Mondrian from a street photographer's point of view.
