Don't miss the amazing artwork by New York architect David Jones!
The exhibit takes a 21st century look at the 20th century DeStijl Movement, a movement that began largely in response to the horrors of World War I and the desire to remake a fresh society in its aftermath by two pioneering abstract artists, Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. The term DeStijl, in Dutch, simply means “the style.” DeStijl looked at art as a means of social and spiritual redemption. It embraced a utopian vision of art and its transformative potential. Its adherents believed in expressing the artists' search "for the universal.” In doing so, it created an austere language, a visual language, consisting of precisely rendered geometric shapes: Usually straight lines, squares, and rectangles, as well as the use of primary colors. These 20th century artists believed they'd created a language that would reveal the laws that governed the harmony of the world.
We are waiting for you!
