Georges Vantongerloo

Georges Vantongerloo was a Belgian painter and sculptor born in Antwerp in 1886, and a leading figure in geometric abstraction. A founding member of the De Stijl movement in 1917, he developed an artistic language based on mathematical relationships, geometric forms, and harmonious proportions. After settling in Paris in 1928, he became actively involved in the Abstraction-Création movement. His work gradually evolved towards more fluid compositions, exploring curves, space, and new materials.
