De Stijl - World of Art

Architectural revolution through Dutch artistic vision.

For anyone intrigued by the origins of modern design, this exploration into De Stijl offers an illuminating journey. It connects the dots from early 20th-century abstract art to the Bauhaus movement, underlining the impactful Dutch contribution to architecture and design. If you're fond of tracing how historical art movements influence the visual world around us, this could be a delightful deep dive.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

De Stijl ("The Style") was the name given to the work of the architects, designers and artists associated with the magazine of the same title edited by Theo van Doesburg and founded in Holland in 1917. De Stijl was international in its contact with the Bauhaus and the Russian Constructivists, it helped create the ideology and formal language of modernism. This survey illuminates the works of Mondrian and the architecture and designs of Oud, Wils, Huszar and Rietveld, all of whom aimed to create an objective art concerned with universal values, expressed in primary geometric forms and pure colors. 157 illus., 17 in color.
