The Story of De Stijl

In the early 1920s, a group of artists and architects, influenced by some of the ideas of Dada, formed a movement called De Stijl. The Story of De Stijl presents work by Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Gerrit Rietveld, and the other members of this influential modern art group, as well as archival photographs of the artists. The authors, experts in this seminal abstract style that encompassed painting, sculpture, architecture, interior design, and more, explore the evolution of the movement not just through traditional art-history analysis, but also through anecdotes, conversations, articles, and other contemporary sources.
