Theo van Doesburg.... n 3 August 1883 Christiaan Emil Maria Küpper was born in Utrecht. Shortly after his birth father Wilhelm Küpper left his family for his birthplace Cologne, where he died in 1893. Christiaan grew up with his mother and stepfather. Theodorus Doesburg had already been a friend of the family for many years and presumably also the biological father of Christiaan. It is probably for this reason that Christiaan later changed his name with the addition of the word "van" (of) as a reference to his descent. Under the name Theo van Doesburg he attended highschool and for while theatre school. When he developed ambitions as a writer and painter his parents weren't very enthusiastic. This was a reason for Theo to leave his parental home at the age of 18. Aside from the name Theo van Doesburg he used two pseudonyms. I.K. Bonset probably is an anagram for "Ik ben sot" (I am crazy), which he used to sign his dadaist peoms and activities.The pseudonym Aldo Camini was used to sign his anti-philosophical activities as a critic. After the mobilisation of WW I Van Doesburg stayed in 1916 with his mother in Haarlem, after which he moved to Leiden. back to stories of... Theo van Doesburg

9. Theo Van Doesburg Theo van Doesburg (18831931). Theo van Doesburg is vooral bekend alsoprichter en redacteur van het tijdschrift De Stijl. Van Doesburg http://www.digischool.nl/ckv1/architectuur/doesburg/doesburg1.htm

Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) Theo van Doesburg is vooral bekend als oprichter en redacteur van het tijdschrift De Stijl. Van Doesburg was een veelzijdig kunstenaar - schilder, vormgever, architect, typograaf - en hij schreef verhalen gedichten en kunstbeschouwelijke artikelen. Door deze veelzijdigheid, in combinatie met zijn dynamische persoonlijkheid, fungeerde Van Doesburg als een katalysator binnen de Europese avantgarde. Hij gaf lezingen, organiseerde tentoonstellingen en zette zich, behalve voor De Stijl, in voor diverse andere tijdschriften en kunstenaarsgroepen. De Aubette Van Doesburg is niet zijn eigen naam. Op 30 augustus 1883 werd hij in Utrecht geboren als Christiaan Emile Marie Küpper. Hij noemde zich naar zijn stiefvader, Theodorus Doesburg. De jonge Van Doesburg wilde schilder en schrijver worden maar volgde geen opleiding. De vroege schilderijen zijn behoudend, maar Van Doesburg bewonderde Vincent van Gogh en Mathijs Maris; vanaf 1909 richtte hij zich op de artistieke expressie van emoties. In het voorjaar van 1913 kreeg hij waardering voor de abstracte schilderkunst. Mede door Kandinsky's Das Geistige in die Kunst besefte hij dat de modernen net als hij streefden naar een spirituele kunst. In 1915 maakte Van Doesburg kennis met onder andere Piet Mondriaan. De nieuwe contacten zetten hem aan tot een explosieve activiteit: hij wilde de krachten van de Nederlandse modernen bundelen in een kunstenaarsvereniging en een tijdschrift oprichten waarin de nieuwe ideeën konden worden geventileerd. In 1915 kwam Van Doesburg niet aan schilderen toe. Wel maakte hij tekeningen en pastels en schreef hij gedichten. Aan de schilderijen uit 1916 valt de invloed van De Winter en Huszar af te lezen. Van zijn vriend, de architect J.J.P. Oud, kreeg Van Doesburg zijn eerste opdracht voor het ontwerpen van

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Theo van Doesburg Theo van Doesburg (born Christian Emil Marie Küpper August 30 March 7 ) was perhaps the main name in the forefront of de stijl movement, after Piet Mondrian . As Mondrian was not directly committed with the publicizing affairs concerning the movement, Doesburg assumed this task and moved to Weimar, Germany in 1922 decided to make a hard influence over Bauhaus principal, Walter Gropius , in order to spread de stijl's influence. Although Gropius accepted a turn towards constructivism in 1923, he did not feel like Doesburg could be a Bauhaus master. Doesburg than installed himself near to Bauhaus buildings and started to attract school students interested in the new ideas of constructivism. Later on, Doesburg would split with his master, Mondrian, because of a divergence about the directions of the lines in the square scheme of de stijl paintings. Mondrian did never accept diagonals, whereas Doesburg insisted on the diagonal's dynamic aspects, and indeed featured it in many of his works. However, Mondrian accepted some concepts of diagonals, such as in Monrdian's Lozenge paintings, where the canvas was rotated 45 degrees, while still maintaining horizontal lines. This effect gave the impressions of lines extending beyond the canvas while maintaining the horizontal characteristic Mondrian stuck to.

Theo van Doesburg: Towards a plastic architecture, 1924. Originally published in De Stijl, XII, 6/7, Rotterdam 1924. 1. Form. Elimination of all concept of form in the sense of a fixed type is essential to the healthy development of architecture and art as a whole. Instead of using earlier styles as models and imitating them, the problem of architecture must be posed entirely afresh. 2. The new architecture is elemental ; that is to say, it develops out of the elements of building in the widest sense. These elements - such as function, mass, surface, time, space, light, colour, material, etc. - are plastic 3. The new architecture is economic ; that is to say, it employs its elemental means as effectively and thriftily as possible and squanders neither these means nor the material. these means nor the material. 4. The new architecture is functional ; that is to say, it develops out of the exact determination of the practical demands, which it contains within clear outlines. 5. The new architecture is formless and yet exactly defined; that is to (such as confectioners use) in which it produces the functional surfaces arising out of practical, living demands.
