Theo van Doesburg cover for "De stijl"

This time only a cover. Theo van Doesburg created this cover for the Dutch magazine "De stijl". This magazine was first published in 1917 by van Doesburg. It lasted until 1932. Other contributors were: Piet Mondrian, Bart van der Leck, Vilmos Huszar, J.J.P. Oud, Jan Wils and others. This magazine had an edition from 120 to 300 copies each. Mondrian left "De Stijl" (the magazine not the movement) in, about, 1925, after van Doesburg started using diagonals.
If i weren't so fond of this magazine i would frame the cover.
