Theo van Doesburg

Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) was a Dutch painter, designer, and founder of the De Stijl movement, which sought to reduce forms to their essential geometric shapes and colours. His works often employed a stark, minimalistic aesthetic, emphasising the fundamental principles of balance, harmony, and order. Van Doesburg's contributions to the development of abstract art and modernist design have made him an important figure in the history of 20th-century art.
