About This Design

Theo van Doesburg Archer De Stijl Poster

Theo van Doesburg Archer De Stijl Poster

Doesburg's 1919 Archer is a characteristic representative of the De Stijl principles. The vertically stressed figure of the archer defines the composition, and is built up from blue and black triangular, rectangular and pentagonal planes. The forces necessary to draw the arrow are concentrated at a single point: at the point of intersection of the verticality of the body and the horizontality of the stretched arm, and the transversals of the bow also run to this point. The dynamic implicit in this motion is heightened by the diagonality of the leg planted backwards. The form of the blue field encompassing the "HEKA" caption provides another diagonal emphasis. Doesburg's advertising design follows the simple, clarified method of the new typography, which characterised the typographic work of Russian Constructivists just as much as the publications of the Bauhaus in the twenties, or the periodical, De Stijl. The motif of the archer appeared for the first time in a pen and ink drawing of more natural attitude in 1917. Doesburg most probably developed this further in his designs prepared for labels for cheese of the company Klaverweide en Zoon in 1919, in which the figure of the archer already appeared in a form identical to this. In a letter written to J. J. Pieter Oud in December 1919, Doesburg makes mention of his designs for the profile of Hagemeyer & Co. Among these might be included the Archer, which was presumably planned as a poster design.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made. And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it. The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates. The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates. Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates. Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises. Thank you Zazzle. Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer. Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances. .

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
