Design for Stained Glass Composition XIII 1924

"Design for Stained Glass Composition XIII" (1924) by Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg is a prime example of De Stijl, an early 20th-century art movement emphasizing geometric abstraction. This design, intended for a stained glass window, showcases the movement's signature use of primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and black and white. The composition is characterized by a grid structure and rectangular forms, reflecting the movement's pursuit of order, clarity, and functionality. The work embodies De Stijl's aim to create a harmonious and universal visual language.
