    De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 that aimed to achieve harmony and order through simplified compositions using only primary colors, black, and white in vertical and horizontal lines. Led by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, De Stijl sought to express a universal harmony through abstraction rather than reflecting reality. Their magazine De Stijl continued publication until 1931 and helped spread their Neo-Plasticist ideas during a period of chaos in World War I. Key members like Mondrian, van Doesburg, and Gerrit Rietveld created paintings and furniture defined by geometric abstraction.
