De Stijl – Neo-plasticisim

De Stijl started off as a magazine in 1917 by two of the founders Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. De Stijl me style in dutch. The magazine became a place for both of the artist to put their views on art out into the world. The first time that the term Neo-plasticisim (new art) was used was in one of the first issues of the magazine which became the name of the artwork that they were making.

One of the main aspects that the Neo-plasticisim movement held was the use of minimal colours and the use of only vertical and horizontal lines and shapes no curves or circles
