''De Stijl'' is also the name of a journal—published by the Dutch painter, designer, writer, and critic Theo van Doesburg—that propagated the group's theories. Along with van Doesburg, the group's principal members were the painters Piet Mondrian, Vilmos Huszár, Bart van der Leck, the architects Gerrit Rietveld, Robert van 't Hoff, the sculptor and painter Georges Vantongerloo, the architect J. J. P. Oud and the writer Anthony Kok. The artistic philosophy that formed a basis for the group's work is known as ''Neoplasticism''—the new plastic art (or ''Nieuwe Beelding'' in Dutch).
According to van Doesburg in the introduction of the ''De Stijl'', the movement was a reaction to the Dutch expressionist architecture of the Amsterdam School movement. Provided by Wikipedia
