en toen de stijl is a fabulous new book in the art book series for kids, published by Leopold Publishers in collaboration with Art Museum Den Haag. Joost Swarte introduces The Style to both children and adults brilliantly through his drawings. NRC Handelsblad writes: "Art history doesn't get better than this". We agree with them whole heartedly!
Furniture Designer and Architect Gerrit Rietveld
Painter Bart van der Leck, invented the colour palette
Theo van Doesburg, artist and founder of De Stijl
Joost Swarte chose 10 major artists who were 'part' of De Stijl to present to the young readers of his book. He does this by taking a look in their studios and we love to look over his shoulder. Because The Style is still very modern, 100 years later!
