De Stijl, Dutch for the style, began in 1917 as a magazine founded by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. In its first year Mondrian used it to name his kind of abstract painting neo-plasticism, built from horizontals and verticals alone. Architects such as Gerrit Rietveld joined the circle. Mondrian left it in 1923, after Van Doesburg took up diagonals. De Stijl, the Style, took its name from a journal Theo van Doesburg founded in the Netherlands in 1917. Its artists wanted a shared, pure language of straight lines, rectangles and primary colors, which they saw as an answer to the First World War. Piet Mondrian came to it after years of painting Dutch landscapes; look at how a few black lines and blocks of color hold a whole canvas in balance. Connected places: The Netherlands · Paris.
