Why did artist Piet Mondrian refuse to set foot in his home country, the Netherlands in 1926?

An interesting incident in art history. This history of art video relates to an incident that took place in Paris in 1926. Piet Mondrian the Dutch abstract painter was being interviewed by a journalist from a Dutch newspaper about his work, neo-plasticism and abstract painting. Piet Mondrian wasn't interested in discussing his art work he just wanted to take about the fact that The Netherlands had banned the dance, the Charleston. Mondrian, who was also a great dancer, was appalled and vowed he would not return to his homeland until the ban was lifted.
