Artist, architect, and writer Theo van Doesburg was the central figure of the De Stijl movement coming out of Holland in the 1920s. De Stijl ("the style" in Dutch), a precursor to the German Bauahus School and present-day design sensibilities, emphasized functional geometry and simple logic in an effort to create a universal aesthetic language appropriate for all aspects of life and all types of media. Van Doesburg's painting Space-time construction #3 illustrates this universal aesthetic through its non-objective subject matter resembling an architectural plan. Its primary colors are reminiscent of the work of Piet Mondrian, another major proponent of De Stijl, whose final unfinished painting Victory Boogie-Woogie formed the heart of the Tremaine Collection.
