Over two decades in Amsterdam, Mondrian lived all over town, from Kalverstraat to the Albert Cuypstraat, Stadhouderskade to Ringdijk. Over the years, he called 10 different studios and houses home.
In his first years in Amsterdam, Mondrian studied at the Rijksakademie, and he did various jobs to support himself. He gave drawing lessons, copied paintings at the Rijkmuseum and Stedelijk Museum, and took portrait commissions. He later described this as a difficult period, but eventually he succeeded in earning a steady living. He led an active social life, joined the artists’ societies St Lucas and Arti et Amicitae, and forged lifelong friendships.
