De Stijl - Piet Mondrian

De Stijl, meaning The Style, is characterized here in the work of Piet Mondrian by the simplification of design and composition down to the barest abstract essentials... Black, white, the primaries red, yellow and blue... Vertical lines, horizontals lines, geometry... distinct assymentry, and a balance of positive and negative space.
