Theo van Doesburg's 1917 "Colour design for a chimney" is a prime example of De Stijl, a Dutch artistic movement that emphasized geometric abstraction. Composed of vibrant primary colors and black lines against a white background, the artwork is structured using rectangles and squares, creating a dynamic interplay of positive and negative space. This abstract design reflects the movement's focus on order, harmony, and functionality, aiming to bring a sense of universality to art.
