Still Life 1917 - 1923

Theo van Doesburg's "Still Life" (1917-1923) is an example of De Stijl, a Dutch artistic movement that emphasized geometric shapes, primary colors, and a rejection of traditional perspective. The work is composed of simple, flat forms in a limited palette, with a focus on abstract composition and the interplay of lines and planes. This stark and minimalist aesthetic exemplifies the De Stijl ideology, which aimed to create a harmonious and functional art that reflected the modern world.
