De Stijl

Isaac Kremer/ January 14, 2018/ / 0 comments

Dutch for style. De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 in Leiden, Holland, by painter Piet Mondrian, architect/painter/writer Theo van Doesburg, and painter/interior designer/graphic designer Bart van der Leck. Proponents of De Stijl advocated a universal visual language of pure abstraction through a reduction of the essentials of form and color, known as Neo-Plasticism, which could be achieved by simplifying compositions to vertical and horizontal lines and using only black, white and the primary colors. (Kremer, 2023)
