De Stijl Movement (1 Jan 1917 Jahr – 1 Jan 1931 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Dutch art movement that emerged largely in response to the horrors of World War I and the wish to remake society in its aftermath.
Viewing art as a means of social and spiritual redemption, the members of De Stijl embraced a utopian vision of art and its transformative potential.

Among the pioneering exponents of abstract art, De Stijl artists espoused a visual language consisting of precisely rendered geometric forms - usually straight lines, squares, and rectangles--and primary colors.

Ultimately, De Stijl's continuing fame is largely the result of the enduring achievement of its best-known member and true modern master, Piet Mondrian.
