Excerpt: Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1912 Mondrian (Dutch pronunciation: , later ; March 7, 1872 February 1, 1944), was a Dutch painter. He was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. He evolved a non-representational form which he termed Neo-Plasticism. This consisted of white ground, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors. Mondrian's birthplace in Amersfoort, Netherlands, now The Mondriaan House, a museum.Mondrian was born in Amersfoort in the Netherlands, the second of his parents' children. He was descended from Christian Dirkzoon Monderyan who lived in the Hague as early as 1670. The family moved to Winterswijk when his father, Pieter Cornelius Mondriaan, was appointed head teacher at a local primary school. Between his 1905 painting 'The River Amstel' and his 1907 'Amaryllis', Mondrian changed the spelling of his signature from Mondriaan to Mondrian. Mondrian was introduced to art from a very early age: his father was a qualified drawing teacher, and with his uncle, Fritz Mondriaan (a pupil of Willem Maris of The Hague School of artists), the younger Piet often painted and drew along the river Gein. After a strictly Protestant upbringing, in 1892, Mondrian entered the Academy for Fine Art in Amsterdam, already qualified as a teacher. He began his career as a teacher in primary education, bu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4865795 ... Read more

They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Theo Van Doesburg," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Theo Van Doesburg in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Theo Van Doesburg when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage.

Il devint célèbre avec l'émergence du mouvement De Stijl. Oud est né à Purmerend. Il était le fils d'un débitant de vin et de tabac. Jeune architecte, il fut influencé par Berlage, et il fit aussi ses études pendant un certain temps à Munich avec Theodor Fischer comme professeur. Il travailla avec Willem Marinus Dudok à Leiden, ville où il rencontra Theo van Doesburg et commença à s'impliquer dans le mouvement De Stijl. Entre 1918 et 1933, Oud sera l'Architecte municipal chargé du logement de Rotterdam. Durant cette période, beaucoup de travailleurs venant dans la ville, il travaillera principalement sur des projets de résidences socialement progressives. Parmi ceux-ci des projets dans les zones de Spangen, Kiefhoek et Witte Dorp. Oud était l'un des nombreux architectes qui cherchaient à trouver un pont entre les techniques constructives strictes, rationnelles, « scientifiques » et économiques avec les besoins psychologiques et des attentes esthétiques des usagers. Sa réponse personnelle fut de s'exercer à une « poétique fonctionnaliste ». En 1927, il fut l'un des quinze architectes qui contribua au Weißenhofsiedlung, exposition très influente d'Architecture moderne. Maison de l'exposition du Weißenhofsiedlung dessinée par J.J.P. OudEn Amérique Oud est peut-être mieux connu pour avoir été loué et adopté par le courant majeur du Mouvement moderne, avant d'être rejeté pour des raisons de style.

P. Huls. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Johannes Itten (11 November 1888 - 27 May 1967) was a Swiss expressionist painter, designer, teacher, writer and theorist associated with the Bauhaus (Staatliche Bauhaus) school. Together with German-American painter Lyonel Feininger and German sculptor Gerhard Marcks, under the direction of German architect Walter Gropius, Itten was part of the core of the Weimar Bauhaus. Born in Südern-Linden, Switzerland, he studied as an elementary school teacher from 1904 to 1908. Beginning in 1908 he taught using methods developed by Friedrich Fröbel and was exposed to the ideas of psychoanalysis. He later enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva but then returned to Berne, after being unimpressed with the educators there. Itten's studies at the Berne-Hofwil Teachers' Academy with Ernst Schneider proved seminal for his later work as a master at the Bauhaus. Itten adopted principles espoused by Schneider, including the practice of not correcting his students' creative work on an individual basis, for fear that this would crush the creative impulse. Rather, he selected certain common mistakes to correct for the class as a whole. He was heavily influenced by Adolf Hölzel and Franz Cižek, in Vienna using the work and textbook of Eugène Gilliard, an abstract painter, as a base. From Hölzel, Itten adopted a series of basic shapes (the line, the plane, the circle, the spiral) as a means from which to begin creation, and the use of gymnastic exercises to relax his students and prepare them for the experiences that were to occur in the class. Farbkreis by Johannes Itten (1961)From 1919 to 1922, Itten taught at the Bauhaus, developing the ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
