Understanding Neo-Plasticism
So, what is actually meant by Neo-Plasticism?
Neo-plasticism is a term adopted by the pioneer of the Dutch abstract art, Piet Mondrian, for the type of abstract painting itself which only uses horizontal and vertical lines and primary colors.
Explanation of Neo-Plasticism
From ‘de nieuwe beelding’ Dutch, neo-plasticism basically means new art (paintings and sculptures are plastic art). This is also applied to the work of the artist de STIJL artist, at least until the separation of the Mondrian from the group in 1923.
In the first eleven edition of the journal de STIJL, Piet Mondrian published a long neo-plasticism essay in picture art where many more he wrote:
As a pure representation of the human mind, the art will express itself in an aesthetic abstract form. New plastic ideas because it cannot, take the shape of a natural representation or concrete – this new plastic idea will ignore information, namely, natural shape and color. Instead he must find his expression in the abstraction of shape and color, that is, in a straight line and primary color that is clear.
Neo-plasticism is actually an ideal art where the basic elements of the paintings, the shape of the lines is used in the purest, most basic state: only the primary and non-color colors, only boxes and rectangles, only straight and horizontal or horizontal or horizontal or horizontal vertical line. Mondrian has a big influence on the next art and is now seen as one of the biggest of all modern artists.
