Atarashi Zokei Shinzo Gata Shugi / Original Title: NEUE GESTALTUNG (New Edition BOW House Sosho)

[Machine Translation] This is a collection of essays by Piet Mondrian, the founder of abstract painting and the theoretical standard-bearer of De Stijl. Vertical and horizontal lines, asymmetry, and the use of three primary colors - his "abstract reality," which expresses equilibrium purely through simplified compositional elements and attempts to unify them into something universal, had a profound influence on the theories of plastic arts in the 20th century. This book contains his theories on painting, literature, music, theater, and architecture.

抽象絵画の創始者にしてデ・ステイルの理論的旗手、ピート・モンドリアンによる芸術論集。垂直線と水平線、アシンメトリー、三原色の造形―単純化された構成要素で均衡関係を純粋に表現し、普遍的なものへ一体化しようとする彼の「抽象的なリアリティ」は、20世紀の造形理論に深い影響を与えた。本書では絵画論から、文学、音楽、演劇、建築の諸芸術に向けて展開された芸術論を収録。
