Talk:De Stijl

message: "In many of the works under this movement, the vertical and the horizontal lines slide past each other and do not intersect." Sorry, I don't follow this 'sliding' concept. Any chance of an illustrative pic? Or is it that there are lines in only two perpendicular directions as in the pic in the articles?  RMoloney 02:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think perhaps what it's trying to express is that when one line is on the x-axis, another on the y axis, while the lines may be on the same x and y points, they are not on the same z-axis; they build on top of each other but do not form an intersection that exists in precisely the same space. I would not have possibly reached this understanding from the words the article currently uses to express it but only from looking at the examples cited. The fact that one of the key stylistic features of Mondrian is his use of intersecting perpendicular lines probably takes away from the statement as a general one. Unless there are examples of this "sliding" in 2d art it should be mentioned that this is characteristic of only De Stijl 3d art—namely, sculpture and architecture. Also, are there counterexamples? And is there any real significance to this aspect? Theshibboleth 07:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

text: A way to remember how this works is that de stijl permits squares, but not crosses; i.e. intersections must be two (very stretched, line-like) squares in front of each other, not one cross-like shape in single z-space. Sunnan 23:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lines? Terminology unclear 

message: I agree some of the things in the article aren't detailed enough to understand, and there are other things that are missing from the article like information about their theories, and poetry etc. produced by the group and printed in their journal.  I guess it's a bit bold to ask for it to be expanded when the Dutch WP article for this Dutch group is pretty short too, but it would be excellent for more info to be added anyway.

message: Trivia section mentions: "Australian band Silverchair's 5th album Young Modern has artwork based on De Stijl". Would we really want to list every instance of artwork based on De Stijl? --Radioflux 23:20, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should axe the entire section - the limited value it adds to the article far outweighs the damage done by inviting cruft. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article only sources one person as being influenced by de stijl to create music but in a blatant homage to the movement the White Stripes wrote an entire album of the same name that works on the same principals of de stijl.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.239.148.85 (talk) 18:23, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Influencing music 

message: I'm just a student and don't have much specific knowledge about the Netherlands during WWI or De Stijl, however the Early History section seems to take the perspective that the artists of De Stijl couldn't leave the netherlands as a result of the war, as if no Dutch citizens could leave, where all history seems to indicate very much the opposite and that the Dutch were not only able to move around Europe freely, but that it was a great benefit for the warring countries as Dutch citizens made excellent spies.
While the whole section is uncited it seems that this source (cited for reference), would be an excellent background and seems to lineup with the information in the section. Although there are differences.
The book translates De Nieuwe Beelding in de schilderkunst as ("Neo-Plasticism in the art of painting") which is different than the current translation ("Neo-Plasticism in Painting"). Not to mention some capitalization differences.

message: , I was wondering, what is your source for this paragraph? I've removed it from the article pending the source: 
In Modern architecture of the 1920s are three notable movements: Cubist, Expressionist and Constructivist architecture. The magazine "De Stijl" (first issue October 1917) was influential on Cubist architecture of the International Style. The other Dutch magazine "Wendingen" (first issue January 1918) was influential on international Expressionist architecture. Coldcreation (talk) 18:05, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not asking what these types of architecture are. I'm asking you what your source is for your claim that: "The magazine "De Stijl" (first issue October 1917) was influential on Cubist architecture of the International Style. The other Dutch magazine "Wendingen" (first issue January 1918) was influential on international Expressionist architecture." Please provide the author, title, publisher, date and page number(s) so I can verify these assertions. Thanks in advance. Coldcreation (talk) 03:33, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

text: I see you've edited your comments but you still have not provided a source (please see WP:RS if you are uncertain about what that means). Cubist architecture being synonymous with International Style, to the point of piping the former term over the article title of the latter, is highly questionable and will definitely need some good sourcing. I am failing to see the relevance of your initial edit: that Europeans don't care for the term "International"? If so, what's the point in the context of this article? It's arbitrary and confusing. That De Stijl influenced cubist architecture? That's nice, if true, and I suppose it can be mentioned if well-sourced, but it's hardly a crucial point to make, particularly the way it's introduced in the paragraph you added. Wikipedia should reflect as much as possible global views on topics but not if that means erasing common mainstream views, particularly without any sources. We can't just take your word on it. If the term International Style is outdated, this isn't the article to address it. freshacconci (✉) 14:52, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

text: This is another copy, taken from a Christie's auction site. Clearly not the same copy: the one Wikipedia uses appears to be cropped from a version with a stamp in the upper right corner. This version has no stamp but has the same sort of fading. Either it's green paper fading to beige on the edges, or the paper is greening with age (which may have to do with the kind of paper used, the material that went into the paper -- paper from China was popular at the time and Chinese paper often used bamboo and leaf material rather than cotton more common in the west). This may explain the greening (or, as I said, they simply used green paper at the time. It was the first issue; who knows what restrictions they had). freshacconci (✉) 15:11, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
