The History of De Stijl

Page 9

Van Doesberg and Modnrian are their artistic careers who learn more towards cubism, the date of the art movement between 1908 and 1914 which depicted natural forms as structures and geometric plans. However, both of them found that it did not fit into these ideas. For them, being more abstract is seen as verifying art, exchanging subjects and shapes for horizontal and vertical elements, mainly using primary colors as well as black, gray and white. They exchange all comprehensive subject traces for complete and total abstraction. They want to create utopia with an imaginary speed that they think is effective, and they feel this is a way that often expresses themselves abstractly. De Stijl artists see their work as a language outside of culture, geography and politics, which makes it feel disparaged and anonymous. They feel that artists must take a back seat in their work, allowing viewers to make their own different opinions about the style they are making.
