About De Stijl...

‘The Style’

  • simplicity and abstraction in architecture and painting, by using only straight horizontal and vertical lines and rectangular forms.
  • limited to the primary colours, red, yellow and blue, and the three primary values, black, white and grey.
  • works avoid symmetry and attained aesthetic balance by the use of opposition. This element of the movement embodies the second meaning of stijl: “a post, jamb or support”; this is best exemplified by the construction of crossing joints, most commonly seen in carpentry.
  • De Stijl was influenced by Cubist and Bauhaus Style
