De Stijl

Welcome to the modern art/contemporary art movement of De Stijl. This article is written to try and help you get an idea of how the modern art/contemporary art movement of De Stijl began and to outline what it was about. De Stijl was just one of the modern art movements to dominate the 20th centaury. From reading these articles you will be able to see how one contemporary art movement effected another contemporary art movement. You will be able to see how certain modern art movements were particularly influential in the creation and inspiration of another contemporary art/modern art movement. We have seen Expressionism, Fauvism, Futurism, Impressionism, minimalist, Op Art, Post impressionism, Surrealism, and other Abstract art movements. Now it is time to look at the modern art/contemporary art movement of De Stijl. Please enjoy the article:

The Highlighting factor of De Stijl was the fact that art was being used to design architecture and furniture. The founders of De Stijl were Piet Mondrian, Van Doesburg and Bart Van Der Leck.

De Stijl translates into English as 'The Style'. There were three periods of De Stijl: The Immature period which lasted from 1916 to 1921, the mature period which lasted from 1921 to 1925 and the deterioration period which lasted from 1925 to 1931.

The architecture of the De Stijl artists was made up of geometric shapes including sphere shaped windows and triangular chairs. Both their art and architecture was considered very radical and even to nowadays standard would seem radical. However the architecture that they produced was incredibly successful. Colour wise, the De Stijl artists used primary and bold colours which creates a very striking look and style.

During the Immature period the artists displayed mainly paintings and sculpture. They formed together to create the De Stijl magazine.

Their most famous and critically acclaimed works were produced in the mature period of De Stijl. Many critics would say that their other periods didn't portray the same level of prestige as the mature period of De Stijl. By this time Bart Van Der Leck had resigned. The movement started to radically transform, Theo Van Doesburg collaborated with Eliezar Lissitzky and toured many showings all hugely successful.

The final stage witnessed the deterioration of the De Stijl movement and witnessed Piet Mondrian resigning his post after a confrontation with Theo Van Doesburg. De Stijl started to become inconsistent and lost character and attractiveness in its appearance. Even the most supportive art critics started to criticise the De Stijl movement due to these inconsistencies.

Headline: Is the art market in danger of collapse?

The major world stock markets have been increasing steadily over the last 60 years. Up until the early 1990s the increase in the stock markets were fairly stable, increasing at a steady rate. However, the stock markets experienced increased volatility after 1994 as a result of pressurised market conditions and the decrease in regulations attached to the London and New York stock markets. After 1994 we have experienced larger peaks and troughs than previous to this date. Click here for the rest of the story
