# De Stijl × Neo-Concrete Art — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=de-stijl+neo-concrete-art
# De Stijl carries the structure. Neo-Concrete Art appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from De Stijl (Style, 1917–1931) and its accent from Neo-Concrete Art (Style, 1959–1966). Structural cues: Vertical and horizontal; Red, blue, yellow; White planes; Asymmetric equilibrium. Accent cues, used sparingly: Movable geometry; Bodily participation; Folds and hinges; Sensuous color and space. Composition: Divide the plane with orthogonals; shift the weight off center. Type and lettering: A rectilinear sans; treat letters as rectangles too. Let one material quality come from the second style: Thin metal or board with hinges tuned to move under the hand's weight. Mood: Trust, Calm, Technology, Play, Exhilaration, Intimacy. Color: build on #f2efe2, #d53225, #1f4b93 with a single accent drawn from #ece5ce, #d95b37, #315f86. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - De Stijl and Neo-Concrete Art share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - De Stijl: Not just red-blue-yellow squares. Design the ratios and the asymmetric balance.
# - Neo-Concrete Art: Read it through the revolt against objectivism and the transformation the viewer's body performs, not as Brazilian geometric abstraction, and note that fragile moving parts go untouched and leave only ornament.
