Carrying on throughout philosophical disagreements and defections over doctrine, van Doesburg personified the group, carrying its ideas throughout Europe until he died in 1931. The journal ceased publication in 1932 with a commemorative issue edited by his wife.

What happened to Stijl?

Mondrian refused to accept this break with purity and precision, deeming it artistic heresy on Van Doesburg's part. Mondrian continued in his way, separate from De Stijl, finally ending up in New York in 1940. Van Doesburg continued the publication until his death in 1931.

When did De Stijl start and end?

De Stijl, 1917–1931, The Dutch Contribution to Modern Art (1st ed.).
