Dance I 1917

"Dance I" (1917) by Theo van Doesburg is an iconic example of De Stijl, a Dutch art movement founded in 1917. The painting exemplifies the movement's focus on geometric abstraction, employing only primary colors and black lines. Composed of interlocking squares, triangles, and circles, it creates a dynamic interplay of form and color, evoking a sense of rhythm and movement. Van Doesburg's use of simple shapes and vivid hues reflects De Stijl's belief in the universal language of geometric forms. The artwork is currently housed at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
