Archer by Theo van Doesburg - Fine Art Poster

Van Doesburg created this wonderful design in 1919

Theo van Doesburg was a Dutch Painter, Poet, Designer, and Architect. He was born in 1883 and was 48 years old when he died.

Van Doesburg created this fascinating artwork in 1919 while working for Hagemeijer & Co as a graphic designer. The piece was to be used on packaging for Gouda cheese made for export. He incorporated similar rotational symmetries and the image had no relevance to the product whatsoever and it’s known that he was concerned that the design would be rejected.  His fears were groundless, the company was thrilled with the cutting edge design and the irrelevance to cheese was not seen as a barrier.

Van Doesburg's influence on art is profound; he worked expansively in many different forms and he created many abstract paintings and designed buildings, room decorations, stained glass, furniture, and household items. Evidence of his impact can be found in architecture. Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, and others at the Bauhaus. As a testimony to his importance, in 2010 the Tate Modern had an entire exhibition devoted to his works, and his influence on fellow artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Piet Mondrian, Jean Arp, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Francis Picabia, Kurt Schwitters, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. His theoretical essays and articles remain influential.

"The artist no longer needs a particular starting point in nature in order to achieve an image of beauty. He spontaneously creates relationships in equilibrium - complete harmony - the goal of art."
