The purest reduction — Piet Mondrian's conviction that if you strip away everything unnecessary, what remains is the universal: horizontal lines, vertical lines, red, yellow, blue, black, white. That's it. That's everything. Inspired by Broadway Boogie Woogie, the 1917 magazine covers, Theo van Doesburg's diagonals (which caused a schism!), and Gerrit Rietveld's Schröder House where they actually lived inside a Mondrian. The grid is the gospel. The primaries are the trinity. Neoplasticism isn't minimalism — it's maximalism with a vocabulary of five.
