Masterpieces of elemental lines and shapes from a Dutch artist
How neoplasticism appeared
The journal became the organ of neoplasticism, the utopia of the new plastic culture.
It was founded by Mondrian together with the artist Theo van Doesburg.
In 1917, the term «Neoplasticism» was used for the first time in the magazine De Stijl.
Basis of style
Pete put the principle of ponderation (weighing), or «dynamic balance», into the basis of his compositions. The colors in the paintings were displayed in a certain amount for balance.
Piet Mondrian and his new style vision

The use of lines, geometric shapes, primary colors of the spectrum (blue, red, yellow). Verticals and horizontals, plus and minus, dynamics and statics, masculine and feminine.
