Vertical and horizontal
Schoenmaeker: "The two fundamental and absolute extremes that shape our planet are: on the one hand the line of the horizontal force, namely the trajectory of the Earth around the Sun, and on the other vertical and essentially spatial movement of the rays that issue from the center of the Sun"

Mondrian: “I concluded that the right angle is the only constant relation and that through the proportions of the dimension one could give movement to its constant expression, that is, to give it I exclude more and more from my paintings the curved lines, until finally my compositions consisted only of horizontal and vertical lines that formed crosses, each separated and detached from the others"
Mondrian: "rectangles are never an end in themselves, but a logical consequence of its determinant lines which are continuous in space and appear spontaneously when the cross is made of vertical and horizontal lines."
