Piet Mondrian and the De Stijl Movement in the Scope of Neoplasticism
Abstract
In 20. century, emerging
technology, the spread of mass media and the different perceptions of the
consumer society influenced the field of art as in any field and the desires of
the public have been considered priorly. This study is a screening model
research that discusses the emergence, artists, effects on subsequent art
movements and the reflections in the industry of the De Stijl Movement that
arose within the modernization during World War I and was generated completely
based on the principle of abstraction as a result of the quest for a national
style. De Stijl Movement – as an extension of
Neoplasticism- has moved the art
concept into a different dimension and attracted so much attention with the
colors used and the original attitude in terms of the value given to human
beings and nature, national stance and the principles. Evolving with the
influence of the Cubism, De Stijl is the result of Piet Mondrian’s theoretical
and plastic researches which lasted from 1912 until 1917. The most important
members were Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Bart van der Leck, Vilmos
Huszar, JJP Oud, Gerrit Rietveld and Georges Vantongerloo. De Stijl used
generally only compositions with straight lines and right angles in the
horizontal and vertical lines and colors were limited to the three primary
colors red, blue, and yellow and neutral colors containing black, white and
grey. The movement is considered as special by reason of getting away from
nature with using plastic, extracting the natural forms of the items in the
compositions and its theosophical orientation. Besides the movemenet has played
an active role in the effects of abstract art in the shapes and colors of the
objects that are used in nowadays.
