| This is a really neat way of visualising molecules!

| Just to be incredibly boring and pedantic though- I love
| mondrian's works and he's an artist who constantly experimented.
| It's kind of a shame that he's often thought of and talked about
| as if all his paintings were random grids of random colours.
|
| Even his really grid based paintings (which to be fair is like
| the whole second half if his career) often do interesting things
| with outlines and space that make them much more interesting than
| random grids:

| Very nice idea.

| Not sure how the paintings correspond to the molecular structure,

| intuition about molecules than me.
