2008  “The Sculptor and the Philosopher’s Stone: Georges Vantongerloo’s Cosmic Vision of Art” Wieczoreck (Associate                Professor of Modern Art at UW) convincingly proved how Vontongerloo used non-Euclidean geometry to                          transform realism into abstract sculpture. This principle visualizes that geometry is expansive instead of        

           restrictive. Vantongerloo was a founding member of the De Stijl group that included Theo van Doesburg (1883-

           1931), painters Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), Vilmos Huszàr (1884-1960), and Bart van der Leck (1876-1958),
