This study aims to research for a historical transition of philosophical thoughts related to the ‘modern’ aesthetics, so called ‘Universalism’ such as Transcendentalism, and Theosophy, etc. or ‘Universal wisdom movement’ at the turn of the 20th century. And it revealed the characteristics as well as historical connections of the idea on ‘from being into becoming’ with which Avant-garde artists made entirely new representation in their work focused on the case of De Stijl's form-space by the ‘ideoplastic’ way of from innerness outward. In result, this study found the fact that there was a strong philosophical stream recognized as Romantic idealism and Naturphilosophie in German which had been developed through Schelling's concept of ‘a unified organic system’ caused from the mystic transcendental idealism including Kant's and Hegel's. And more importantly in the realm of art, Froebel's thoughts and his educational training influenced on a lot of modern ‘Avant-garde’ artists such as Mondrian in De Stijl, Kandinsky in Bauhaus and Malevich in Constructivism in Europe including F. L. Wright in America, and furthermore, the influence of Oriental thoughts also was inevitable in these processes towards the ‘Modernity.'
