De Stijl

De Stijl translates to The Style. This Dutch artistic movement and periodical was founded by Theo Van Doesenburg in 1917. The movement advocated the use of pure abstract form to express the universal in art. De Stijl theories formed the basis for the art style known as Neo-plasticism, a closely related style developed by Piet Mondrian.
