de Stijle

Founded in the Netherlands, de Stijle is translated as ‘the style’; it was literally intended to be the style. It is a utopian ideal of spiritual harmony and order. All the objects and spaces that we encounter on a daily basis creates a spiritual harmony in our lives.

during my first ever survey of western art class, my professor explained the difference between historians and art historians. historians, she said, were interested in old things. art historians, on the other hand, were interested in old things of quality. you don't hang garbage up on the walls of a museum; it has to be substantial and it has to mean something. so here you go; old things, made mostly by dudes long dead, of debatable degrees of quality but always with a constant level of importance. think of this as a deck of flash cards... sans the whole cards part.
