"It [De Stijl] was posited on the fundamental
principle of the geometry of the straight line, the
square, and the rectangle, combined with a strong
asymmetricality; the predominant use of pure
primary colours with black and white; and the
relationship between positive and negative
elements in an arrangement of non-objective
forms and lines.”
