  • This episode of By Design, presented with Bang & Olufsen, celebrates 100 years of De Stijl. The avant-garde movement founded by Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg reduces abstraction to its most basic tenets: line, form and color. Join Julian Dawes as he traces the history and far-reaching influence of the movement and one of its most defining objects.
    Iconoplastic: 100 Years of De Stijl, 18 October - 8 December, New York

    One thing I understand is the philosophy of simplicity here...it's more about the raw and concrete expression of what minimalist is and not about a flashy approach compared to old movements like baroque and all...it's real class

    'De Stijl' in Dutch is pronounced almost the same as The Style in English. So it's not The Sschhhtyle ;)

      I know, this was so cringy to listen too..
      Other than that, it's a great video, though.

      Yes, please lose the German pronunciation when speaking Dutch. You wouldn't speak Spanish with a French accent, would you? Even the French don't do that.

      Yeah. Why is IT that we have a bloody American telling us about De Stijl?! What a complete loser.

      It is not only cringing, it says something about the approach towards research. Uninformed attempts to pronunciation betray academic laziness. It is ironic that this man mentions the concept of ’essential elements of representation’ in the same sentence in which he fails to apply the essential elements of representation, once again.

    "By, sort of weeping (or wheeping?) to the end of a line and dispensing of everything that is not essentials you find this ultimate form of representation that is ultimate abstraction"
    What weeping?
    Which one of the lines? Is it all lines?
    What are essentials and for what?
    What representation, what is being represented here?
    How an abstraction can be half or ultimate?

      Weeping as in erasing elements that are not essential so as to define a piece that is not too heterogeneous. Here, the essential elements are the primary colours red, blue and yellow only, and horizontal and vertical lines intersecting at right angles. A style of simplicity that defines modern movement is being represented here. De stijl was just an idea in art and design, a complete abstraction that was brought to materialistic form through architecture and design.

    The narrator looks like a De Stijl version of Mathew Broderick. (Not an insult. Just an observation.)

    Cubism was not abstract and Picasso was adamant about never jettisoning representation. Futurism, while embracing non-figurative vocabularies, was not founded as an abstract art movement (and was more political in nature). These distinctions are very important when teaching the history of abstraction. Sotheby's needs to do better job at vetting the content.
