De Stijl

De Stijl is pronounced in Dutch that means “ The Style” it was influenced by Cubism art. This style was found in Netherlands between 1917 and 1931, this new style was made to express harmony and order. Where colour and form had a huge role in it, artist’s simplified new composition with geometry of the straight lines, squares and rectangles they add them together to accomplish something new and interesting with the few they make. By order, is the form of lines where they are going and how thick they are? Whether with colour they only used the primary ones that are red, yellow and blue along with black and white. This style was not only with paint but also with furniture like chairs, tables, beds and even buildings.

Inspired by The Style are these garage rock band in America. The White Strips they were released on June 20, 2000. They became famous by about two years and their numbers grow. Their cover album was almost the same as De stijl. They have a black background with vertical and horizontal black thick lines and with squares and rectangles floating around coloured in white and red. The two artists Jack White and Meg White are standing in the middle dressed in white to complete the composition. It also has De Stijl written at the bottom.
