Art history
Neo-Plasticism . Mondrian believed his abstraction could serve as a universal pictorial language representing the dynamic, evolutionary forces that govern nature and human experience. In fact, he believed that abstraction provides a truer picture of reality than illusionistic depictions of objects in the visible world.

a short history of De Stijl
Piet Mondrian: Here is my art style, De Stijl, it uses only horizontal/vertical lines and primary colours. I created it to give a sense of order after the chaos of the first world war.
Theo van Doesburg: Hey! I love it! I’m gonna jump in and do my part!
Mondrian: Lovely! We should create a De Stijl artbook.
Doesburg: Yeah! Although, you mind if I do one little thing with my next piece?
Mondrian: What is it?
Doesburg: I was thinking of adding in a couple of diagonal lines like this
Mondrian:
I can’t believe you would fucking do this. You draw one more fucking diagonal line and we’re going straight home. I can’t fucking take this. I quit. Fuck you.
Doesburg: uh wow ok coward i guess. hey fuck you man
Piet Mondrian (1872-1944)
The Man Who Changed Everything. How Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), Member of DeStijl Movement, became the world’s greatest abstract geometrist. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed neoplasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which he painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors. © Gemeentemuseum Den Haag
