De Stijl:''For the 2000 indie rock album by The White Stripes, see De Stijl (album).'' [[Image:Mondrian CompRYB.jpg|thumb|200px|''Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue'' 1921. Piet Mondrian. Oil on canvas. 39 x 35 cm.]] De Stijl (Dutch language; pronounced 'duh-shtile'; literally ''the style'' in English language) was an art movement in the 1920s. The movement is also known as ''neoplasticism'' — the new plastic art. Proponents of de Stijl sought to express a new Utopia ideal of spiritual harmony and order. They advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour — they simplified visual compositions to vertical and the horizontal directions, and used only primary colors of red, blue and yellow along with black and white. In many of the works under this movement, the vertical and the horizontal lines slide past each other and do not intersect. This feature exists in some of Mondrian's paintings and in Gerrit Rietveld ''Schröder house'' and ''Red and blue chair''. The neoplatonic philosophy of the mathematician M. H. J. Schoenmaekers, who coined the term ''Neo-Plasticism,'' influenced the de Stijl movement. Piet Mondrian, the group's best known artist, published their manifesto titled ''Neo-Plasticism'' in 1920. Painter Theo van Doesburg published a journal named ''De Stijl'' from 1917 to 1928, spreading the theories of the group. De Stijl artists also included the painter George Vantongerloo, and the architects J.J.P. Oud and Gerrit Rietveld. The works of de Stijl influenced the Bauhaus style and the architectural International style (architecture), as well as clothing and interior design. Neoplasticists include: *Piet Mondrian (1872 – 1944) *Theo van Doesburg (1883 – 1931) *Ilya Bolotowsky (1907 – 1981) *Marlow Moss (1890 – 1958) *Amédée Ozenfant (1886 – 1966) *Max Bill (1908 – 1994) *Jean Gorin (1899 – 1981) *Burgoyne Diller (1906 – 1965) *Georges Vantongerloo (1886 – 1965) In addition to the movement's influence on the visual arts, architecture, and design, it also had an effect (though admittedly slight) on the world of music; the Dutch composer Jakob van Domselaer (1890-1960), a close personal friend of Mondrian's since 1912, created a number of musical works based on the principles of Neo-Plasticism beginning in 1913. ==External link== * Scans of the publication [http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/dada/De_Stijl/index.htm ''De Stijl''] Modern art Visual art movements Dutch architecture De StijlOn en-wiki shouldn't this article be under the English Neoplasticism rather than the Dutch De Stijl. -- User:Solipsist 19:40, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC) Neoplasticism is a translation of the Dutch "nieuwe beelding," not De Stijl. It is probably best to consider Neoplasticism as the art "movement" and De Stijl as the loose association of contributors to the journal of that name. English art historians refer to "De Stijl" without translating it (as they do with the Bauhaus, the Fauves, etc.) "In many of the works under this movement, the vertical and the horizontal lines slide past each other and do not intersect." Sorry, I don't follow this 'sliding' concept. Any chance of an illustrative pic? Or is it that there are lines in only two perpendicular directions as in the pic in the articles?
