De Stijl - Paul Overy

These pictures were taken in Amsterdam in 2009.

Paul Overy was a British art historian and critic. De Stijl was first published in 1969, as a short study of De Stijl (literally "the style"). A larger study of the art movement was published in 1991.

Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondriaan, among others, were founders of De Stijl in 1917. Gerrit Rietveld became a member of the movement in 1919.
