Bart van der Leck

Bart van der Leck was a Dutch painter and designer. He was a member of the De Stijl movement, a group of artists and designers who sought to create a new visual language that reflected the modern era.

Van der Leck began his career as a decorative painter, working on a variety of projects including murals and stained glass windows. He later turned to painting, creating abstract compositions characterized by bold, flat areas of color and simple geometric shapes. His work was influenced by his interest in the visual language of non-Western art, as well as by the work of Dutch painters such as Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg.

In addition to his work as a painter, van der Leck was also a designer, creating textiles, furniture, and ceramics. He believed that art should be integrated into everyday life and worked to create designs that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Van der Leck's work played an important role in the development of the De Stijl movement, and he worked closely with other members of the group, including Mondrian and van Doesburg. His paintings and designs continue to be celebrated for their bold simplicity and their contribution to the development of modern art and design.
