DE STIJL Rosemarie G. Fernandez
Dutch for "The Style", also known as neoplasticism, a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917 in Amsterdam. the term De Stijl is used to refer to a body of work from 1917 to 1931 founded in the Netherlands.
In the early 1920's a group of architects and artists, influenced by some of the ideas of DaDa, formed a movement called de Stijl (Dutch for The Style). It is also the name of a journal that was published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, and critic Theo van Doesburg that served to propagate the group's theories. 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).

Proponents of De Stijl advocated: pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; simplified visual compositions to the vertical and horizontal directions used only primary colors along with black and white only primary colours and non-colours, only squares and rectangles, only straight and horizontal or vertical line.
“De Stijl was posited on the fundamental principle of the geometry of the straight line, the square, and the rectangle, combined with a strong asymmetricality; the predominant use of pure primary colors with black and white; and the relationship between positive and negative elements in an arrangement of non-objective forms and lines".
