Founder of the De Stijl movement, Theo Van Doesburg is valued for his artistic contributions as a painter, architect, writer, philosopher, designer, and typographer. Van Doesburg rejected bourgeoisie tradition in active pursuit of a new universal practice and understanding of art. His unique writing style, translated here in English by Joost Baljeu and Esther Cohen, is fierce and reactionary. This book contains extracts from his poems, prose, and essays on art and architecture, as well as biographical notes accompanied by numerous photographs and illustrations of his life and work.
