Taking the work of the painter Piet Mondrian as a point of departure, artistic continuity and change are examined from a lifespan developmental perspective. It is argued that decontextualized continuity tends to occur within a given lifestage, whereas contextualized change is apt to emerge during a transition from one lifestage to another. Thus, Mondrian's gradual development of a unique style, predicated on logical, stage-like unfolding, is related to a midlife emphasis on formal structure. From a similar perspective, his dramatic shift away from this inner logic of development in his last work, the Boogie Woogies, is attributed to an ultimate effort in old age to synthesize art and reality, to reconcile a conflict between the laws of art and direct expression of sense experience.
以画家皮特·蒙德里安的作品为出发点，从毕生发展的视角审视艺术的延续性与变化。有人认为，去情境化的延续性往往发生在特定的生命阶段，而情境化的变化则易于在从一个生命阶段向另一个生命阶段过渡时出现。因此，蒙德里安基于逻辑的、类似阶段式展开而逐渐形成独特风格，这与中年时期对形式结构的强调有关。从类似的视角来看，他在最后一批作品《布吉伍吉》中背离这种内在发展逻辑的巨大转变，被归因于老年时为将艺术与现实相融合、调和艺术法则与感官体验直接表达之间的冲突所做的终极努力。
