Description
A self-portrait by Theo van Doesburg, painted in an expressive style with visible brushwork and a muted colour palette. This work offers a glimpse into the artist's early, more figurative style, before his involvement with the De Stijl movement.
This self-portrait by Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) presents the artist in a contemplative pose, his gaze directed slightly off to the side. The painting is executed in a style that suggests an early phase in his artistic development, before his complete abstraction. The brushwork is visible and expressive, particularly in the rendering of the face and clothing. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by earthy tones and muted greens, with touches of red on the cheeks and nose to give the face warmth. The hat casts a shadow across his forehead, adding depth to the composition. Van Doesburg, a Dutch artist, is best known as a founder of the De Stijl movement. This portrait offers a glimpse into his earlier, more figurative work, providing a contrast to the geometric abstraction that would later define his career. The painting captures the artist's likeness and also provides insight into the artistic explorations that preceded his better-known abstract works. The visible brushstrokes and attention to light and shadow are characteristic of early 20th-century portraiture.

Artist Biography
Theo Van Doesburg
Van Doesburg published Dada poetry under one pseudonym, anti-philosophical prose under another, and founded De Stijl under his adopted surname. His birth name was Christian Emil Marie Kupper. He took "van Doesburg" from his stepfather, "I.K. Bonset" from a Dutch pun meaning "I am foolish", and "Aldo Camini" from somewhere in his imagination. No other founding figure of geometric abstraction operated under so many identities.
He was born in Utrecht in 1883. After encountering Mondrian's work around 1915, he sought him out and together they launched the magazine De Stijl in 1917, along with Bart van der Leck, Vilmos Huszar, J.J.P. Oud and Antony Kok. Van Doesburg was the movement's organiser, publicist and ambassador, travelling across Europe to promote Neoplasticism while Mondrian stayed in his studio.
In 1922 he moved to Weimar and set up an unofficial school near the Bauhaus to attract students to Constructivist and De Stijl ideas. Walter Gropius acknowledged the influence but refused to give Van Doesburg a teaching post. The rivalry was productive: Bauhaus design absorbed De Stijl principles without crediting the source.
The break with Mondrian came over diagonals. Mondrian insisted on strictly horizontal and vertical lines; Van Doesburg introduced the diagonal in his Counter-Compositions, arguing for dynamic rather than static geometry. They stopped speaking. In 1929 they met accidentally in a Paris cafe and reconciled.
He married three times. His third wife, Nelly van Moorsel, was an artist, pianist and choreographer. He died in Davos in 1931, at forty-seven, from a heart attack. De Stijl ended with him.
