Design style definition of Stijl movement is showing material in a very simple way, its designers used extremely simple and orderly style of painting

There were many contributions made by the artists and designers working in the De Stijl and the Constructivism movements. Two artists that greatly contributed to the De Stijl movement were Picasso and Braque. Their paintings helped in defining “a vocabulary of geometric forms”, while still using the elements of the real world. Another very important contributor to the De Stijl movement was Piet Mondrian. Mondrian also helped in defining the vocabulary of art and design, even further than Picasso

Why De Dtijl “The Style”? De Stijl Translated from Dutch to English literally means “The Style” but why?

how it got started. Firstly, it is an art movement that internationally began in the 1950’s, but the origins can be traced back at least thirty years. It can be thought of as a combination of elements from other movements such as Constructivism, De Stijl and the Bauhaus. According to Richard Hollis’ book Swiss Graphic Design, there are “at least three factors that account for the ‘Swiss’ style” (Hollis, R. 2006, P9), these being the country’s location, the language and the culture. There is evidence

Words on paper can sometimes seem a long way off the tangibility of real world design, but every great building starts its life on paper. Architectural beliefs and sensibilities are established through a system of thought, a manifesto that dictates how and for what reasons design choices are made. The manifesto encompasses more than just architecture so it performs a grounding role, contextualising and justifying design in a paradigm of thought appropriate to the time and space from which it had

also attempted to form a new social consciousness, by introducing a new abstract language to demonstrate the understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe. Among all the avant-garde aesthetic approaches that were prevailing at the time, De Stijl, also known as neo-plasticism, a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 in Amsterdam, advocated the most radical rejection of the traditional artistic expression through its manifestation of mathematical geometry and ultimate

He remained part of the De Stijl movement until 1931. There he worked alongside Piet Mondriaan and Theo van Doesberg and many others. The De Stijl movement was formed by a group of architects and artists who were greatly influenced by the ideals of DaDa. De Stijl was founded by Theo van Doesburg.
