Mathijs Meinderts, Independent Art Historian, The Netherlands In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the De Stijl art movement in the Netherlands, Mathijs Meinderts presents a lecture exploring the extraordinary life of Gerrit Rietveld, an Utrecht native and architect of the famous Rietveld Schröder house. Rietveld began his career making radical chair designs and went on to work closely with artists and designers such as Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg, whose painting Tree (1916) is a noted work in the Portland Art Museum’s permanent collection. This lecture is a partnership with the Portland Utrecht Network. It was recorded on October 16, 2018, in Portland Art Museum's Whitsell Auditorium.
