Mathieu Hubertus Josephus Schoenmaekers (13 December 1875, Maastricht - 18 December 1944, Laren) was a philosopher and theosophist who formulated the plastic and philosophical principles of the De Stijl movement.
He published two influential books in Holland, Het Nieuwe Wereldbeeld (The New Worldview) in 1915 and Beginselen der beeldende wiskunde (Principles of Visual Mathematics) in 1916, which influenced Piet Mondrian and the art movements of Neoplasticism and De Stijl".[1][2]
