Theo Van Doesburg: Principles of Neo-Plastic Art: Bauhausbücher 6 - Hardcover
by Theo Van Doesburg (Artist), Walter Gropius (Editor), László Moholy-Nagy (Editor)
The De Stijl protagonist's elucidation of the basics of neoplasticism
Painter, writer, architect, typographer, art theorist and leader of the De Stijl movement, Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) was one of the great modernist polymaths, and in this volume of the Bauhausb cher, he attempts to make elementary concepts in the visual arts generally comprehensible for a broad audience.
Van Doesburg's book addresses the "modern artist" of his day, who had to deal with both shifting social paradigms and a changing understanding of art and art theory. Unifying a range of disciplines, van Doesburg describes theory as a necessary consequence of creative practice: artists, he says, "do not write about art but from within art." Principles of Neo-Plastic Art is a revolutionary synthesis of practice and theory.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
