Project of house-studio 1925

Here’s Theo van Doesburg's Project of house-studio, made with ink on paper. It feels like a peek into the artist's mind, a mapping of an ideal creative space. There's a deliberate, almost playful arrangement of rooms, each labeled with a practical purpose, yet hinting at something more. The studio gets 'lumiere' - that means light - and the terrace offers a link to the outside. It’s like van Doesburg is composing a painting, balancing function with a kind of visual harmony. I imagine him at his desk, maybe late at night, sketching and adjusting, trying to figure out how to create a space that truly fosters creativity. The neat, gridded lines remind me of Mondrian, a contemporary of van Doesburg and an artist with a similar dedication to the exploration of pure form. You can see van Doesburg, like so many other artists, wrestling with ideas about space and form, pushing the boundaries of what art can be.
