He was a founding member of De Stijl (The Style), an artistic movement that advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; he left the group in 1918. Van der Leck's style is characterised by the use of primary colours and geometric shapes. He sought to create a universal visual language that could be understood by all. His work often depicts everyday subjects, simplified into their most basic forms. In \"Woman and Cow\", the artist reduces the figures to a series of geometric shapes in primary colours (red, yellow, blue) and black, set against a white background. The composition is flat and ornamental, with the shapes arranged in a way that suggests the figures of a woman and a cow, without explicitly representing them. The painting reflects van der Leck's interest in abstraction and his desire to create a universal visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/composition-in-colour-a-piet-mondrian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition in Colour A - Piet Mondrian — Piet Mondrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/still-life-with-statue-vase-and-jar-theo-van-doesburg\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStill Life with Statue, Vase and Jar - Theo van Doesburg — Theo van Doesburg\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bart van der Leck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762536554831,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762537374031,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57762537406799,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Woman-and-Cow_Poster_CompositorV1_1779497045292.jpg?v=1779498387","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/woman-and-cow-bart-van-der-leck","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
