Cathy Dong-Looking Outwards-12

I am inspired by de stijl movement. It’s a Dutch art movement founded in 1917. It emphasizes on pure abstraction and universality through a reduction to essentials of form, vertical and horizontal compositions, and color, black, white, and primary colors. The name of De Stijl comes from critic Theo Van Doesburg, and the most well-know artists are Piet Mondrian, Bart van der Leck and Vilmos Huszar. Architects such as Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van’t Hoof and JJP Oud applies this art concept to their architectural design. The projects that I admire the most are Rietveld Schroder House by Rietveld, and Eames House by Charles and Ray Eames.
