Description

"With the exception of the Bauhaus, probably no other art movement of the first half of the twentieth century has had such an influence on our everyday lives as the De Stijl group around Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. Mondrian, along with Wassily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich one of abstract painting's founding fathers, created strictly geometrical paintings that today are icons of modernism. Their characteristic structure - a black frame with fields of primary colours and white - has long assumed a life of its own in art and fashion, advertising and popular culture. One focus of the publication ... is Mondrian's development towards abstraction - from his early works in the circle of the neo-impressionist luminists to his neoplasticistic period. A second focus is De Stijl's interdisciplinary approach, which will be shown with historical furniture, clothes, architectural drawings and models."--Book jacket.
