Neoplasticist

Earlier this year, I was on a Neoplasticist binge inspired by Mondriaan. This is definitely not Mondriaan, but it is Neoplasticist. I didn't have Saul's Selection fill Script-fu at the time and definitely makes doing these much easier now.

Time for a pedantic argument about terminology

...

Firstly let me say I like what you've done :kpix

However I don't think it fits the Neo-plasticism description.

From the Tate Glossary http://www.tate.org.uk/collections/glossary/definition.jsp?entryId=191 Quoting Mondrian:

Quote:

As a pure representation of the human mind, art will express itself in an aesthetically purified, that is to say, abstract form. The new plastic idea cannot therefore, take the form of a natural or concrete representation. This new plastic idea will ignore the particulars of appearance, that is to say, natural form and colour.

As it's identifiably representational, to me it doesn't fit with the complete abstract nature of neo-plasticism. I feel it's somewhat more cubist in style.

All that said, it's still good art to me and far better than anything I could do. :clap

True that Neoplasticist are completely abstract where I actually turn pictures into that form, but still it is definitely inspired by that form of art. Don't know why I like it but do.

Greg, these are not hard to do. Believe I already did a tut (will look for it). If not, I will do so. If so, I'll copy to here too.
