| Domela, the abstract
painter was bom on the 15 th January, 1900 in Amsterdam. J.D.
met him in 1942 at Jeanne Bucher's who in spite of the German Occupation,
sometimes showed abstract painting in her gallery, Boulevard du Montparnasse.
Abstract art, considered as " degenerated " by the Nazis was strictly
forbidden. J.D. then influenced by Roger de la Fresnaye, Braque
and Marcoussis was entirely obsessed by his research in painting.
Although he still attached importance to the representation of objects,
he wanted to express something that he considered more significant
than reality, by changing the naturalistic aspect of the object.

Domela let him come in his own library and lent him his " Manuscript of 1929 ", which in four pages dealing with the point, the line and the surface and illustrated by some thirty photographs and a few diagrams, summed up his activities in the De Stijl movement. Thus, J.D. leamt how it was possible, starting with the objects of the outside world to produce synthesizing plastic rhythms. Thereby, he began to free himself from figurative art. | ||||||
