This is a great example of a bad interpretation of #neoplasticism


In fine art, the term "neo-plasticism" refers to the austere, #geometrical style of concrete #art developed by the Dutch painter #Piet_Mondrian (1872-1944) just after the First World War. The word is a meaningless translation of the complex Dutch phrase #nieuwe_beelding , first used by the writer #Matthieu_Schoenmaekers in his book Het Nieuwe Wereldbeeld (The New Image of the World), and re-used by Mondrian in his theoretical essay De Nieuwe Beelding in de Schilderkunst, before he adopted the French translation Neo-Plasticisme from which the English term is taken. A better translation is simply "New Art" - mainly because it described Mondrian's vision of an ideal, pure form of art and design, which he felt the post-war circumstances demanded. It was to be a pure type of abstract art that adhered to strict rules of composition.
