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. -

Journal De Stijl
This association resulted in the publication of the journal De Stijl, which Van Doesburg was to edit until his death. The first issue appeared in November 1917.

Red and Blue Chair, Rietveld
In 1918, the architect Gerrit Thomas Rietveld designed a chair that affected not only furniture design, but the history of architecture. Rietveld's "Red and Blue" chair is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, (http://www.timelineindex.com/content/select/1003/1101,816,1003) -
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. -
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) -

Victory Boogie Woogie
At the time of Mondrian’s fairly sudden death in early 1944 at the age of seventy-two, Victory Boogie Woogie was still unfinished. The lozenge-shaped painting was covered with loosely attached bits of coloured paper and plastic which Mondrian was using to try out new emphases and rhythms.(http://www.timelineindex.com/content/select/1003/1101,816,1003)
