Translated by Charlotte I. Loeb and Arthur L. Loeb. From the book: “These nine essays provide a biographically vivid and pluralist view of the periodical De Stijl in the important early period of its development. They provide, new biographical information and fresh analysis of the painters van Doesburg, Mondrian, Vilmos Huszar, and Bart van der Leck, the painter-sculptor Georges Vantonger-loo, architects Oud, Robert van't Hoff, Jan Wits, and furniture designer turned architect Gerrit Rietveld.” The articulated De Stijl concepts in highly formal paintings such as those by Mondrian and Bart van der Leck, and in the elegant but functional furnishings and architecture of J. J. P. Oud, Rietveld and others. Using only spare, elementary forms and primary colors, De Stijl artists embodied utopian ideals in utilitarian forms that achieved true universality.
