Theo van Doesburg—an artist who elevated simple forms into rhythmic composition. By creating the concept of «concrete art,» he stripped his works of subtext, yet simultaneously imbued the paintings with self-sufficiency and purity, as there is nothing more real than form, color, and the plane of color. Lacking a direct connection to the material world, concrete art does not abstract reality; rather, it materializes ideal, spiritual principles, giving them a visible form.

The basis for the artwork on Theo van Doesburg’s creative work is the artist’s transition from Neoplasticism to Elementarism: vertical and horizontal lines give way to the diagonal, which embodies movement. The art object is composed of geometric blocks of varying shapes. Care is demonstrated through attention to people’s activities and the versatile use of the art object, which is intended to simplify life.
