The article overviews the development of the line as a pictorial element in Neo-Modernism. It refers to different variants of linear strategy in geometric abstractions and the tendency of the line to become the leading element of the work of art up to pure linear constructions, such as a two-or three- dimensional grid. This grid is the key structure of the new forms of modern art built on repetition.
