	Neoplasticism - De Stijl Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Neoplasticism was a Dutch abstract movement founded by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg.
		Neoplasticism (the new plastic art or Nieuwe Beelding in Dutch) was a movement in both painting and sculpture that asserted only the absolutes in life were important.
		Neoplasticism sought to reduce art to horizontal and vertical lines and the primary colors (red, blue and yellow) plus fl, white and gray.

		The three main forms of abstract art are Cubism, Neoplasticism and Abstract Expressionism.
		Neoplasticism is a very rigid form of abstract art based on the belief that art should not be a representation of real objects but an expression of the absolutes found in life, devoid of the artist's emotions.
		To Neoplasticism artists, the only absolutes in life were vertical and horizontal lines and the primary colors.

	Art Comparison
		The style of Neoplasticism was created by the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian in an attempt to form a simple, perfectly balanced, pure composition.
		The use of primary colors in the rectangles, typical of Neoplasticism, is yet another retreat to simplicity and purity.
		Neoplasticism and Abstract Expressionism were logical steps from Post-Impressionism, taking the idea of abstraction to an extreme by removing all traces of an identifiable subject.

	THE LONG WAY OF ABSTRACTION - ARTISTIC COMMENTS IN MUNDOARTE
		If, today, it is true that the avant-garde movements identified art and life, it is also true the fact that Neoplasticism assumed it in its own way, as it understood as life the pure inner activity, outside the senses.
		With these resources, Neoplasticism tried to build a new concept of beauty in which harmony and balance prevailed, the ideal image of a future world free from passions and fights.
		But, perhaps, Robert Rauschenberg –the one who continued with Abstract Expressionism and the pioneer of Pop Art in the USA- was the artist who showed an unusual side of the tendency, introducing into his paintings different objects of the consumer society –such as bottles of Coke- with an evident ironic objective.

	Suphawut.com: Visual Art & Graphic Design: Modern Art: Piet Mondrian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Neoplasticism is the theory and practice of the de Stijl group, chiefly characterized by an emphasis on the formal structure of a work of art, and restriction of spatial or linear relations to vertical and horizontal movements as well as restriction of the artist's palette to fl, white, and the primary colors.
		In this new art form (Neoplasticism) Mondrian’s goal was to eliminate all traces of representation in favor of balanced compositions of primary color and vertical and horizontal lines.
		It rejected all representation and restricted the elements of artistic expression to the use of straight lines, right angles, pure primary colors (blue, red, and yellow), and the so-called non-colors of fl, gray, and white.

		Cubism was defined succinctly by Guillaume Apollinaire in "Le Temps" of 14 October 1914, when he referred to the "geometrical aspect of these paintings, where the artists have attempted to restore, with purity, essential reality".
		But as the problem of pure, plastic creation was approaching solution, that same solution (by means of an unbreakable dialectical principle) created another problem, which relates less to Neoplasticism and Constructivism (due to their orthogonal composition) than it does to Cubism and Non-objectivism, and this problem is: the frame.
		Cubism and Non-objectivism, through their use of compositions based on rhythms created by oblique lines or triangular or octagonal figures, created for themselves the problem that a rectangular frame disrupts the plastic development of the subject.

	Mondrian Chronos
		The pictorial language has been redefined: there is no place or object as subject, just a space for formal equilibrium, which evolved on the surface giving abstract meaning to the painting.
		A checkered surface, equal rectangles, precise encounter of color, and tracing lines - Mondrian’s special sensibility is shown by the distribution of the blue, red, yellow and gray surfaces.
		This composition, from 1922, is an example of “neoplasticism” with three primary colors and two pictorial orientations.

		I was looking up some information on abstract art and came across neoplasticism, I thought it was pretty interesting so I thought I'd share it.
		This is the time that Mondrian began to practice and develop Neoplasticism.
		He moved to New York City in 1940 and his artwork became less severe and his colors became more bright.

		Taking over from Neoplasticism, this new group, definitively constituted in 1930 with the name Cercle et Carré, intended to contrast the growing influence of Surrealism.
		The influence of Neoplasticism, present in his work from that moment on, would be one of the fundamental factors in his mature artistic style, which he attained in 1930.
		The main element Torres-García adopted from Neoplasticism was the orthogonal pattern of horizontal and vertical rectangles, an element that will remain a constant feature of his subsequent oeuvre.

		But these schools of thought in art were left behind at he developed his own doctrine of art, called Neoplasticism.
		Using his doctrine of Neoplasticism as a guide Mondrian and other artists created works of art which were collectively known as De Stijl (The Style).
		The computer can produce the elements of his painting with a purity and uniformity that was only approximated with the use of canvas and paints.

		Later on, he became an early member of the Federation of Modern Painters and Sculptors, established in 1940.
		During this period, Bolotowsky came under the influence of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian and the tenets of Neoplasticism, a movement that advocated the possibility of ideal order in the visual arts.
		Bolotowsky adopted his mentor's use of horizontal and vertical geometric pattern and a palette restricted to primary colors and neutrals.

	Words and Neophily and Neoplasticism and Mondrian and Meossology and Neossoptile
		Indeed, Mondrian invented Neoplasticism by writing a book called the same in 1920 and saying that this was what his painting represented.
		So, the OED defines "Neoplasticism," as "a movement...originated by...Mondrian...characterized by the use of primary colours and abstract forms." Don't you just love his chutzpah?
		I learned that Neoplasticism is derived from "neoplasm," meaning a new growth or tissue.

	Mondrian Machine
		After spending time in Paris before World War I, where he was influenced by cubism, he began to develop his own style of pure abstraction.
		His style, which he called neoplasticism, avoided both the reproduction of real objects or even filtered perceptions of real objects (as in impressionism).
		He refined his neoplastistic style during the 1920's, producing the abstractions with fl lines and red, blue and yellow blocks for which he is best known.

	"Mondrian and Metonymy" -- a monograph by Richard Speer
		But Mondrian’s neoplasticism conveys the mind of a rational thinker: defining concepts, according them value, balancing them in dynamic hierarchy.
		I see Mondrian’s neoplasticism in psycho-epistemological terms, as an abstract depiction of the architecture of a logical mind.
		Similarly, to consider the question of why Mondrian’s particular aesthetic elicits from the viewer specific responses or associations, we must remove ourselves by one degree from the formal elements of his style; we must question his style on the level prior to its evocation of any response by the viewer.

		The bedsheet was white with thick fl lines and a regularish pattern of blue, red, and yellow filled squares.
		The origins of that style of painting, that is. So it turns out there was this Dutch guy, Piet Mondrian, whose theory about painting went something like this: all of painting is basically about drawing and coloring.
		As per his style/philosophy ("Neoplasticism"), the basic drawing element is the straight line and the basic "primordial" colors are red, yellow and blue.

	Co-branded: Film Studies Oriented Blog Entry Archives
		This sort of question is, in my opinion, the same one rhetorically posed by early abstract artists, most notably in Neoplasticism and Constructivism.
		Of course I am wrong on many counts to compare contemporary design with Neoplasticism, and to compare movies with Neoplasticism, and to associate Constructivism with Neoplasticism.
		But I am right on some counts too, and I do think the impulse toward a completely synthesized, pure and perfect image is more prevalent in contemporary cinema than it has been in decades past.

	Neoplasticism
		De Stijl, or neoplasticism, was an art movement that started in the 1920s.
		They proposed the idea that pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour was a valid artistic form, and they simplified visual compositions to vertical and the horizontal using only primary colours like red, blue and yellow and fl and white.
		In some of the work that it representative of the neoplasticism movement the vertical and the horizontal lines slide past each other without intersecting, such as in Mondrian's painting of the Rietveld SchrÃ¶der House and the Red and blue chair.

		My abstract work takes this as its starting point and on which I build using chaos and complexity.
		I am inspired by the later work of Piet Mondrian and am challenged by his ideas in neoplasticism.
		I have chosen to develop art that explores the same theme from diametrically opposite starting points, and, like Jekyll and Hyde, light and shade, good and bad, love and hate, one cannot exist without the other.

		The war over, Mondrian returned to Paris in June 1919.
		By the end of 1920 he had invented neoplasticism, in which pure primary colors and fl lines came together in a unity that was neither random nor systematic but intuitive.
		Composition with Blue, Black, Yellow, and Red shows Mondrian's typical balancing of large areas of "non-color" against smaller accents of color, producing a structure in which restless sliding is resolved in a stable whole.

		Neither institution would survive in the stormy climate in which they had been created, unprepared as they were to adapt to the inevitable and irreversible changes sweeping the country.
		Perhaps for the same reason, prior manifestations such as the neoplasticism of Piet Mondrian or, going further back, the post-impressionist-expressionist style of Vincent van Gogh, never gained a foothold in Suriname.
		Meanwhile, the work of de Vries would continue to emphasize the gestural and emotional, sometimes including the figure and sometimes not.
