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 outlook: in 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.
