Description
Holland At The Beginning Of The Last Century Was The Birthplace Of A Totally New Form Of Art, An Abstract Art Based On Strict Relations Between Rectangular Forms, Color Planes, And Straight Lines. In October 1917, During The First World War, A Group Of Young Artists In Neutral Holland Joined Forces To Create A Magazine. Called De Stijl, It Presented And Promoted This New, Innovative Art. The New Art Proved Able To Demolish The Boundaries Between Disciplines, Painting Becoming Architecture, Applied Arts Becoming Sculpture, Design Becoming Art. Artists From All Over The World Adopted Multidisciplinarity And Worked Together With Intensity. It Was Refreshingly Modern: They Communicated Via The Magazine, Letters, And Mailings, Just As Artists Today Use Modern Forms Of Communication To Reach One Another. The Show Brings Together Examples Of The Work Of Mondrian And His Fellow Artists. The Accompanying Catalog Will Shed New Light On The Way Mondrian Looked For Ways Of Presenting His Work That Would Elucidate Its Meaning And Allow Onlookers To Discover A Clear, Meaningful Relationship Both To It And, By Extension, To The World That Surrounds It. He Was Well Aware That The Works He Chose For Exhibitions Could Signal His Intentions, Could Say Something About His Position Relative To The Work Of His Fellow Artists. His Selections Also Articulated The Development In His Own Art. Mondrian Continually Broke Down His Own Theories And Principles, Creating An Ever Freer, More Dynamic, And Lively Art That Still Shapes The Future.
