Neoplasticism, By David.
Neoplasticism was a Dutch movement that emerged on the art scene in the form of sculpture and paintings in nineteen twenty and had a duration of around twenty years. (note that some contend that it emerged some what earlier)
It was founded by Theo van Doesburg. It dealt with the idea that art shouldn't simply replicate actual objects but should instead express the absolutes in life. Because of this the followers of this movement dealt only with planar elements such as horizontal and vertical lines and primary colors like yellow,blue and red.
Two of the artists that participated/developed this style are Ilya Bolotowsky and Pieter Cornelius Mondrain a Dutch native who helped the with the creation of Neoplasticism by founding De Stijl, a earlier movement that Neoplasticism was helped by. A good example of Neoplastism art by Mondrain is his “Composition with Red Blue Yellow” (second picture down)
Ilya Bolotowsky was another successful painter of this movment after moving from Russia to the Us and being inspired by Mondrian's work.
At the top of the page we see his “pale Yellow and Blue and Tondo”
Neoplasticism as a movement ended in nineteen thirty one after Theo van Doesburg brought fourth “Abstactio-Creation”
