De Stijl
is a Netherlands-based movement embraced an abstract, pared-down aesthetic centered in basic visual elements such as geometric forms and primary colors. The De Stijl (Dutch for “the style”) group was one of several art and design movements that responded to the chaotic trauma of World War I with a “return to order.”
Piet Mondrian is easily the most recognizable and most well known artist from the movement. To Mondrian, the vertical and horizontal elements represented two opposing forces: the positive and the negative, the dynamic and the static, the masculine and the feminine.
