Abstract

This article offers a micro-historical analysis of the contact between Theo van Doesburg, the Dutch avant-garde artist and editor of the periodical De Stijl (The Style), and Hungarian avant-garde artists associated with the periodical Ma (Today) – including Lajos Kassák, Sándor Bortnyik, László Moholy-Nagy, László Péri, and others – during the first half of the 1920s. Drawing on archival research in the Kassák and Van Doesburg estates, held respectively at the Kassák Museum in Budapest and the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History in The Hague, this article traces significant aspects of the international avant-garde networks in Europe in this period.
