Fast Facts
Feeling that Analytical Cubism did not go far enough, did not represent pure reality, Mondrian developed Neo-Plasticism (1917-1928). His new style reflected the desire for standardization in the contemporary machine age. Its precision and purity were perfect for the “new man” in Utopian society. Mondrian worked in artistic solitude.
*** Mondrian believed that abstraction was intellectually pure and “natural” and that linear, vertical and horizontal arrangements were inherently harmonious.
