He studied with Hans Hofmann and gained an appreciation for Synthetic Cubism and Neoplasticism. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed "Neoplasticism". Other examples include Constructivism, Neoplasticism ("De Stijl") and Expressionism. George took influence from Dutch De Stijl, otherwise known as Neoplasticism. The term should not be confused, either, with Piet Mondrian's concept of "Neoplasticism". Mondrian sets forth the delimitations of Neoplasticism in his essay "Neo-Plasticism in Pictorial Art". De Stijl also known as neoplasticism, was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917.
