Neoplasticism, originating from the Dutch Nieuwe Beelding, is an avant-garde art theory proposed by Piet Mondriaan in 1917 and initially employed by the Dutch De Stijl group of artists. The most notable advocates of the theory were the painters Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. Neo-plasticism advocated for a purified abstract art, by applying the most elementary principles through rational means.
