The Empire State Building in New York is a piece of A design movement from the 1920s and 30s that was inspired by modernism and machinery and which featured simple, stylised, geometric shapes and forms. architecture made up entirely of straight lines.
The windows run up the length of the entire building in long, straight, vertical lines. These emphasise the height of the building.
The overall effect of the geometric lines suggest that the building is strong and stable.
Painting No.II / Composition No.XV / Composition 4 by Piet Mondrian is entirely made of geometric lines and blocks of colour.
These are arranged in a seemingly random way and painted over in places so that they appear faded around the edges of the frame. This makes the composition feel less rigid and perfect that you might expect from a group of purely geometric lines.
