Composition 1918

Theo van Doesburg's *Composition*, a prime example of De Stijl, is a masterpiece of geometric abstraction. Created in 1918, the artwork is a harmonious composition of red, blue, and yellow rectangles on a white background. Van Doesburg, a key figure in the movement, aimed to create a new visual language based on pure geometric forms and primary colors. The work's balance and simplicity reflect the De Stijl's search for order and harmony in the post-war world, making *Composition* a quintessential example of this influential artistic movement.
