Conclusion
Congratulations, you are officially one of us. No, not dead. A Neoplasticist.
OK, one last confession. I'm not really a Neoplasticist anymore. Well, I was, but then in the '20s, I started to develop an appreciation for the diagonal and had some cool new thoughts about time and space (why limit yourself to just three dimensions?). I called this movement Elementarism, still under the De Stijl banner.
If you're interested, check out the link below.
Mondrian wasn't really down with these new ideas and so he bolted from De Stijl. Piet was always a bit of a square (ha, ha). But we made up a few years later during a chance meeting in a Parisian cafe, so everything is cool up here.
Oh, yeah, and then there was this Abstraction-Création association that I helped star-- ahh, we'll save that for another webquest. This is Theo von Doesburg officially signing off.
PS: Almost forgot. Below is the reconstruction of the cinema/dance hall that I designed in Strasbourg. The owners hated it at the time, but the design brilliance was eventually appreciated.
So there's your final lesson. Don't expect to be popular. Prepare for the "weird" labels. Stick to your guns.
Unless, of course, you decide that's too limiting. Then just create something new. I have some great manifesto templates I can share. And additional consulting is available on a hourly basis.
PPS: You might want to get your neoplastic membership card plasticized. Oud has ruined about six of them in the washer/dryer already. Classic Oud.
