DesStijl journal 1918

Theo van Doesburg and Vilmos Huszår (Huszar designed this first cover) founded the DesStijl journal in 1918, a publication that protested war, individualism and nationalism. The De Stijl design concept was organized space on geometric principles and the use of pure colors only. Architects were involved in the movement who carried through their principles in several projects. Piet Mondrian, Dutch artist, was also involved with this group from its inception. It ended with the death of Theo van Doesburg in 1932 as he had been its driving force.
