In the second part of the thesis, the foundation of the Art Group De Stijl is described and the visual means of neoplasticism are defined. At the end, the question: „To what degree has Piet Mondrian influenced the Art Group De Stijl and what differences in opinions have arisen among the group’s members?” is touched upon. The intention of my bachelor thesis is to introduce the reader to the works of Piet Mondrian and to describe his rational principle, which stemmed from his philosophic and aesthetic contemplations.
