With Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian he founded the De Stijl art movement . Son of a house painter , he started his career learning how to make stained glass in a shop in Utrecht . An example of his later stained glass work is in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Hoge Veluwe , Netherlands . After having met Mondrian and van Doesburg and having founded the Stijl movement with them , his style became completely abstract , as did Mondrians . But after disagreements with Mondrian his abstract style became based on representational images . His painting Triptych is an example , in which he transformed sketches of a mine in Spain into seemingly abstract shapes . In 1919-1920 he created the interior design for , in the Hoge Veluwe estate . The hunting lodge was designed by Hendrik Petrus Berlage . In 1930 , he was commissioned by Jo de Leeuw , owner of the prestigious Dutch department store Metz & Co . to design interiors , window packaging , branding and advertising .

In his own words he said : Mondrian came to my place one day with Doesburg , whom I had never seen before . When Doesburg noticed an abstract painting right on the easel , he exclaimed : If that is to be the painting of the future , may I be hanged right now ! Well , a few months later , he was painting in precisely that manner . Thats the sort of person Doesburg was . No ideas of his own . And a cheat in bargain.. . Public collections .
