Mondrian's unpublished text on neoplasticism featured in art press

The magazine art press publishes extensive excerpts from a previously unpublished French translation of an article by Piet Mondrian, written between late 1921 and March 1922. The text articulates Mondrian's vision of neoplasticism in distant future and contemporary architecture, distinguishing his ideas from the functionalism advocated by architect J.J.P. Oud and the decorative emphasis of Belgian artist Joseph Peeters. The publication coincides with the exhibition 'Pays-Bas 20e siècle' at the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, which includes the show 'De Van Gogh à Mondrian'. This marks the first French release of Mondrian's original writings, offering insight into his theoretical stance during a pivotal period of De Stijl.
