De Stijl Movement

De Stijl Movement, also known as Neoplasticism, emerged in the early 20th century in the Netherlands. It was founded in 1917 by Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, and Bart van der Leck. This style aimed to achieve a universal visual language by reducing art to its most basic elements of geometric shapes and primary colors. The movement believed in a harmonious integration of art and life, with a focus on simplicity, precision, and abstraction. De Stijl became famous for its use of vertical and horizontal lines, primary colors, and a limited palette of black, white, and gray. The movement had a profound influence on architecture, design, and visual arts, paving the way for modernism.
