De Stijl (/də ˈstaɪl/, Dutch: [də ˈstɛil]; "The Style"), incorporating the ideas of Neoplasticism, was a Dutch art movement founded in 1917 in Leiden, consisting of artists and architects.[1] The term De Stijl is also used to refer to a body of work from 1917 to 1931 created in the Netherlands.[2][3] Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality[disambiguation needed] by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour. They simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white and primary colors.
De Stijl is also the name of a journal—published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, and critic Theo van Doesburg—that propagated the group's theories. Along with van Doesburg, the group's principal members were the painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszár, Bart van der Leck, the architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van 't Hoff, the sculptor and painter Georges Vantongerloo, the architect J. J. P. Oud and the writer Anthony Kok. The artistic philosophy that formed a basis for the group's work is known as Neoplasticism—the new plastic art (or Nieuwe Beelding in Dutch).
According to van Doesburg in the introduction of the De Stijl, the movement was a reaction to the Dutch expressionist architecture of the Amsterdam School movement.
