De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that advocated for ultimate simplicity and abstraction in art through the use of horizontal and vertical lines and primary colors. The movement was centered around the journal of the same name published by Theo van Doesburg to propagate the group's theories. Key members included painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszar, and Bart van der Leck as well as architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van 't Hoff, and J.J.P. Oud. De Stijl influenced architectural and design styles like the Bauhaus and International styles through its emphasis on clean lines and geometric forms.

- 1. De Stijl De Stijl De Stijl, Dutch for “The Style”, also known as neoplasticism, was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 in Armterdam. De Stijl is also the name of a journal. This journal was published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, and critic Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) that served to propagate the group’s theories. The group’s principal members were the painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszar, and Bart van der Leck, and the architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van ‘t Hoff, and J. J. P. Oud. The artistic philosophy that formed a basis for the group’s work is known as the new plastic art (neoplasticism). De Stijl proposed ultimate simplicity and abstraction, both in architecture and painting, by using only straight horizontal and vertical lines and rectangular forms, and used only primary colors along with black and white. The works avoided symmetry and attained aesthetic balance by the use of opposition. In many of the group’s 3D works, vertical and horizontal lines are positioned in layers or planes that do not intersect, thereby allowing each element to exist independently and unobstructed by other elements. De Stijl was influenced by Cubist painting as well as by the mysticism and the ideas about “ideal” geometric forms in the neoplatonic philosophy of mathematician M. H. J. Schoenmaekers. The movement of De Stijl also influenced by Neopositivism. Rietveld Schroder House Red and Blue Chair Jakob van Domselaer Piet Mondrian De Stijl’s works influence the Bauhaus style and the international style of architecture, clothing and interior design. De Stijl was a collective project as it did not follow the general guidelines of an “-ism” nor the principles of art schools. De Stijl’s Mondrian’s paintings was an influence only on the work of a composer named Jakob van Domselaer. He composed his Proeven van Stijlkunst (“Experiments in Artistic Style”). Jakob and Mondrian are best friend. The De Stijl influence on architecture remained considerable long after 1931. Mies van der Rohe was among the most important proponents of its ideas. Rietveld Schroder House was designed by Rietveld and it is the only building to have been created completely according to the De Stijl principles.
