De Stijl was a Dutch art movement consisting of artists and architects. Mostly from 1917 to 1931. Proponents of De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white and primary colors.
