A Dutch art movement founded in Amsterdam in 1917, advocating pure abstraction through the reduction of form to geometric elements and the use of only primary colors plus black and white. Key figures include Piet Mondrian—whose Composition and later Broadway Boogie Woogie trace the movement’s evolution—Theo van Doesburg, and architect Gerrit Rietveld. It responded to the chaos of World War I by seeking universal visual harmony, building on the abstraction of Cubism and influencing the Bauhaus and Modernist Design.
