Abstract: *De Stijl* was a pioneering Dutch artistic movement (1917-1932) centered on abstraction, geometry, and primary colors, promoting harmony and universal aesthetics. The movement’s periodical, *De Stijl*, documented its evolution, featuring contributions from key figures like Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and Gerrit Rietveld. As the movement gained global influence, London became a significant hub where *De Stijl’s* principles inspired British and European artists. The periodicals serve as a crucial historical record of the movement’s impact on modernist art, design, and architecture, continuing to shape contemporary creative discourse and emphasizing universal artistic expression.
