INTRODUCTION TO DE STIJL: Dutch for The Style (pronounced the same)
(n., Dutch, lit. ''The Style'') 1. Modern art movement focusing on clean
lines, geometric shapes, and primary colors, epitomized by Piet Mondrian
De Stijl was the name of a group of artists and architects who gathered
around the largely theoretical architect Theo van Doesburg. He founded
the group in Leyden in 1917 and published the magazine De Stijl, which
ran from 1917 to 1928.During the tumultuous decade following World War
I,De Stijl artists set out to create a universal style in painting,architecture
and design, using rectangles and squares in flat planes of bold primary
colors and black, gray and white, all carefully orchestrated with straight
lines. The compelling geometric paintings of Piet Mondrian and equally
striking furniture of Gerrit Rietveld have become oft-quoted classics of
20th-century design.
