| | Tara Hutton Gallery - De Stijl - What is De Stijl? |
 | | De Stijl was widely read by the staff and students at the famed Bauhaus School of Design in Weimar, Germany, Van Doesburg, arrived in Wiemar in 1921 and gave lectures at the Bauhaus on De Stijl Principals. |
 | | De Stijl (Dutch for 'The Style') then gave its name to a group of artists and architects that included Piet Mondrian, Bart Van Der Leck, Vilmos Huszar, Georges Vontongerloo, Pieter Oud, and Gerrit Rietveld. |
 | | The group sought to create a universal style of design, using geometric forms, straight vertical and horizontal lines, and a limited palette that allowed only the three primary colors - True Red, True Blue, True Yellow, in combination with the three non-colors Black, Gray, and White. |
