Meaning "The Style" in Dutch, this artistic movement - which englobed artists such as Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, J. J. P. Oud and Gerrit Rietveld, in between others - sought the integration of all arts into each of their creations, searching for a uniformity in all areas of expression from design to painting and architecture.
