Geometric work: Irregular pentagon in diagonal with three 4-pointed stars. The edges are painted on the canvas. This is therefore not a frame. The regular and irregular pentagon cannot be multiplied two- or three-dimensionally, without creating differently shaped intermediate surfaces or spaces. In the work 'Irregular pentagon diagonal' you see 3 stars that have been created in the spaces. In this case the stars have 4 points. In nature the pentagon, such as in crystals for example, is unknown. Mondrian was very concerned with the quadrangle and the vertical-horizontal concept, but never concerned himself with the pentagon.
