THEO VAN DOESBURG
- Born in 1883
- Died in1931
- Best known as founder and
leader of De Stijl
- Married to
Artist/choreographer Nelly
Van Doesburg
As you can see this is a composition of vertical and
horizontal lines which will (in an abstract manner) have to
express the idea of rising upwards, of magnitude. This is
the same idea which used, for example, to be the guiding
principle in the construction of cathedrals. Since only the
manner of expression and not the representation has to
express this general idea, I have not given any title. An
abstract human mind will, of itself, receive the intended
impression. I always confine myself to expressing the
general.
Van Doesburg (1915)
My initial reaction to the art style in
general was that while it was meant to
be different, the bold colours and
jagged lines gave the paintings more
life than standard pieces of art.

pieces.
