Sketch for the ceiling 1923

Theo van Doesburg's "Sketch for the ceiling" (1923) is a geometric design that embodies the principles of De Stijl, a Dutch art movement advocating for abstract art based on primary colors, straight lines and a rejection of perspective. This sketch, likely for a ceiling design, features a grid of squares and rectangles in muted colors, suggesting an emphasis on structure and functionality over traditional artistic expression. The use of geometric forms and the restricted palette are characteristic of van Doesburg's work, which sought to create a sense of order and harmony in the chaotic modern world.
