One of the Domburg lovers, the painter Piet Mondrian
Domburg is perhaps best known for its hosting of a group of artists of which Piet Mondrian is the best known. His Pier and Ocean paintings was inspired by the same location where James Abbott McNeill Whistler painted the Domburg sea with its characteristic piers which do not cater for the happy crowd but are meant to break waves that may damage the dunes and thus the existence of the place. This lead Domburg to be a testing ground for Leiden's De Stijl movement.
De Stijl (The style)
Principles and influences
De Stijl, Dutch: 'The Style' was a Dutch art movement founded in 1917 by a group of artists and architects based in Leiden. Mondrian set forth the principles of neoplasticism in his essay "Neo-Plasticism in Pictorial Art". He wrote, "this new plastic idea will ignore the particulars of appearance, that is to say, natural form and colour. On the contrary, it should find its expression in the abstraction of form and colour, that is to say, in the straight line and the clearly defined primary colour". With these constraints, his art allowed only primary colours and non-colours, only squares and rectangles, only straight and horizontal or vertical lines
