De Stijl – 1917-1931

De Stijl is small groups which are Dutch architects, designers and also artists that in October 1917 they established an art journey which was titled to De Stijl. Apart from being a designer theo was also a critic and also a writer. We also can see two other artists who were Piet Mondrain along with the architect Gerrit Reitveld.

The De Stijl style was led by Theo Van Doesburg where he was part of the group of De Stijl. Theo Van Doesburg has also published a magazine which was called De Stijl which this magazine stayed famous from the year 1917 till the 1928. During the world war I De Stijl artists had created an universal style which was in painting, architecture and also in design. They used shaped in this style which are the rectanglular shape, the square in flate planets of bold primary colors and also black, gray and also white these we all carefully made with straight lines. In the 20^th century design Piet Mondrain and Gerrit Rietveld had become oft-quoted where these two artists used geometric painting and also equally striking furniture.

The de stijl name was discussed by the group’s theories which were published by Van Doesburg. The de stijl publication represents the significant works such as the graphic design which was from the movement but we can see that the ideas and the form and colors are all influenced on the development of the graphic design.
