Study for Composition XXV 1923

"Study for Composition XXV" is a 1923 abstract painting by Theo van Doesburg, a leading figure in the De Stijl movement. This study exemplifies the key principles of De Stijl, employing a limited palette of primary colors and a strict geometric composition. The work features horizontal and vertical lines, rectangles, and squares, creating a sense of balance and order, characteristic of this influential art movement. The work, now part of the Kröller-Müller Museum's collection in Otterlo, Netherlands, is a prime example of van Doesburg's influential role in early 20th-century abstract art.
