Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) was a painter, architect, art theoretician and art critic, typographer, writer, and poet. In 1917 he founded the magazine De Stijl (The Style), and was its only editor until his death. More than any other Dutch artist, Van Doesburg took an active part in the varied activities and manifestations of the international avant-garde of his time, on one hand as a producer of works of art, on the other as an untiring propagandist of the new. In this last role he kept up a voluminous correspondence with a great many artists throughout Europe, from Sweden to Italy and from England to Russia, but also from America and Japan. He contributed to international magazines, gave lectures, took part in Dada performances and exhibitions.

In contrast to his friend Piet Mondriaan, who destroyed all the letters he received, Van Doesburg worked from the beginning with the creation of his archive in mind. This archive reflects the richness of contacts of someone who was working at the midpoint of the many artistic renewals which took place in the period from 1914 to 1931: the final phase of cubism, futurism, De Stijl or neoplasticism, Dadaism, and the up-and-coming surrealism, constructivism and all other contemporary forms of abstract art as well as new developments in the field of architecture.

Although the archive has suffered from Van Doesburg’s frequent house moves, it has had a permanent home since 1930 in the care of the artist’s widow Nelly (1899-1975) in the house Van Doesburg designed himself at Meudon near Paris. After Nelly van Doesburg’s death, the archive was presented to the Dutch State by her niece, Wies van Moorsel, and placed under the curatorship of the Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst (Netherlands Office for Fine Arts) in The Hague.

The archive is very extensive, but contains the following main items: correspondence with artists and magazine editors (such as Archipenko, Arp, Van Eesteren, Gropius, Huszar, Van der Leck, Lissitzky, Mondriaan, Oud, Rietveld, Schwitters, Tzara and many, many others); Van Doesburg’s published work and many manuscripts, including unpublished manuscripts; the archives of the magazines De Stijl and Mecano; documentation about and photos of Van Doesburg’s work and the exhibitions he took part in; scrap books, notebooks, diaries and personal papers.

In addition, the archive contains some important ‘recovered’ correspondence from Van Doesburg himself: letters to his friends Kok, Oud and Rinsema. The Van Doesburg archive is an indispensable source for anyone working on the visual arts and architecture of the period 1914 to 1931.
