De Stijl Design 02/02/2016 (week 5)

The Netherlands based, De Stijil movement embraced an abstract, pared-down aesthetic centred in basic visual elements such as geometric forms and primary colours. This movement was particularly against the decorative excesses of Art Deco. The creators of this movement envisioned this as a universal visual language that's appropriate to the modern era, a time of a new and spiritualised world order. De Stijil was led by Theo van Doesburg and Piet Modrian.

De Stijil artists embraced a visual language consisting mainly of rendered geometric forms, usually straight lines, squares and rectangles - and primary colours.
