01/01/1916	Inspiration	De Stijl was an influence only on the work of composer Jakob van Domselaer, a close friend of Mondrian. Between 1913 and 1916, he composed his Proeven van Stijlkunst (Experiments in Artistic Style), inspired mainly by Mondrian's paintings. This minimalistic—and, at the time, revolutionary—music defined "horizontal" and "vertical" musical elements and aimed at balancing those two principles. Van Domselaer was relatively unknown in his lifetime, and did not play a significant role.

01/01/1919	Gerrit Rietveld	When Gerrit Rietveld became an architect in 1919, he became a member of the 'De Stijl' movement. With the influence of the movement, he changed the chair's colour and gave it the familiar style.
04/29/1921	Composition Red Blue Yellow, Mondrian	The 20th century is distinguished in art history for one invention above all: abstraction. The Dutch artist Piet Mondrian (1872-1944) was a pioneer in this development. His reputation rests on about 250 abstract paintings dating from 1917 to 1944, a modest number for over 25 years of work. Each painting was worked and reworked, built layer by layer toward an equilibrium of form, color, and surface. (http://www.timelineindex.com/content/select/1003/1101,816,1003)
