Born as Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan in 1872 in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, Piet Mondrian began studying drawing at the age of 14. Despite his certainty that he wanted to pursue a career in art, Mondrian first earned a degree in education at the insistence of his family. Though he was in a position to assume a teaching role following his studies, he instead undertook painting classes near his hometown before moving to Amsterdam to study at the Rijksacademie, exhibiting for the first time 1893.
