A small group of artists and architects bonded together around a series of
positions stated in the De Stijl manifesto, and a
De Stiji magazine as well as other art philosophy
documents. The point of view went into a color theory system revolving around the primary colors and their relationship and symbolic meaning. Yellow is the movement of the ray, blue is the horizontal line or firmament, and red is the meeting of the two tendencies. Yellow radiates, blue recedes and red floats. It was always very severe in its exclusive use of the limited types of lines and colors, but incorporated modular concepts, that in themselves would continue to evolve. |
