By the time he opened his own furniture workshop in 1917, Rietveld had taught himself drawing, painting and model-making.

Rietveld, for instance, continued designing furniture according to De Stijl principles, while Mondrian continued working in the style he had initiated around 1920.

He designed his first building, the Rietveld Schröder House, in 1924, in close collaboration with the owner Truus Schröder-Schräder.

" Gerrit Rietveld: A Centenary Exhibition " at the Barry Friedman Gallery, New York, in 1988 was the first comprehensive presentation of the Dutch architect's original works ever held in the U. S. The highlight of a celebratory “ Rietveld Year ” in Utrecht, the exhibition “ Rietveld ’ s Universe ” opened at the Centraal Museum and compared him and his work with famous contemporaries like Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.

Other founder members included Karl Moser ( first president ), Hendrik Berlage, Victor Bourgeois, Pierre Chareau, Sven Markelius, Josef Frank, Gabriel Guevrekian, Max Ernst Haefeli, Hugo Häring, Arnold Höchel, Huib Hoste, Pierre Jeanneret ( cousin of Le Corbusier ), André Lurçat, Ernst May, Fernando García Mercadal, Hannes Meyer, Werner M. Moser, Carlo Enrico Rava, Gerrit Rietveld, Alberto Sartoris, Hans Schmidt, Mart Stam, Rudolf Steiger, Szymon Syrkus, Henri-Robert Von der Mühll, and Juan de Zavala.

In 1951 Rietveld designed a retrospective exhibition about De Stijl which was held in Amsterdam, Venice and New York.

In 1908 the Austrian architect Adolf Loos famously proclaimed that architectural ornament was criminal, and his essay on that topic would become foundational to Modernism and eventually trigger the careers of Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe and Gerrit Rietveld.

Bruna has also been noted to have been influenced by the Dutch graphic design movement, De Stijl, in particular the work of architect Gerrit Rietveld.

In 1923, Walter Gropius invited Rietveld to exhibit at the Bauhaus.

The Centraal Museum of Utrecht has the largest Rietveld collection worldwide ; it also owns the Rietveld Schröder House, Rietveld's adjacent " show house ," and the Rietveld Schröder Archives.

Rietveld designed the Zig-Zag Chair in 1934 and started the design of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which was finished after his death.

Museums with large De Stijl collections include the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague ( which owns the world's most extensive, although not exclusively De Stijl-related, Mondrian collection ) and the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum, where many works by Rietveld and Van Doesburg are on display.

Rietveld was born in Utrecht in 1888 as the son of a joiner.

The Rietveld Schröder House () ( also known as the Schröder House ) in Utrecht was built in 1924 by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld for Mrs. Truus Schröder-Schräder and her three children.

Next to van Doesburg, the group's principal members were the painters Piet Mondrian ( 1872 – 1944 ), Vilmos Huszár ( 1884 – 1960 ), and Bart van der Leck ( 1876 – 1958 ), and the architects Gerrit Rietveld ( 1888 – 1964 ), Robert van't Hoff ( 1887 – 1979 ), and J. J. P.

Gerrit Thomas Rietveld ( 24 June 1888 – 25 June 1964 ) was a Dutch furniture designer and architect.

One of the principal members of the Dutch artistic movement called De Stijl, Rietveld is famous for his Red and Blue Chair and for the Rietveld Schröder House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rietveld designed his famous Red and Blue Chair in 1917.

Hoping that much of his furniture would eventually be mass-produced rather than handcrafted, Rietveld aimed for simplicity in construction.

Rietveld broke with ' De Stijl ' in 1928 and became associated with a more functionalist style of architecture, known as either Nieuwe Zakelijkheid or Nieuwe Bouwen.

In order to handle all these projects, in 1961 Rietveld set up a partnership with the architects Johan Van Dillen and J.

When the art academy in Amsterdam became part of the higher professional education system in 1968 and was given the status of an Academy for Fine Arts and Design, the name was changed to the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in honour of Rietveld.

It looked as Gavin had first seen it years ago, on those nights when he slept alone by his campfire and waked suddenly to the hoot of an owl or the rustle of a blade of grass in the moon's wind -- a savage land, untenanted and brooding, too strong to be broken by the will of men.

At first I thought he had missed.

But her prettiness was what he had noticed first, and all the other things had come afterward: cruelty, meanness, self-will.

No one was behind it, but in the rear wall of the office I noticed, for the first time, a door which had been left partially open.

He had received both first and second anonymous notices, and each time he had accused his neighbors of writing them.

When Fred Powell's brother-in-law, Charlie Keane, moved into the dead man's home, the anonymous letter writer took no chances on Charlie taking up where Fred had left off and wasted no time on a first notice:

For Matilda, it was the first she had known in many a night.

Even the knowledge that she was losing another boy, as a mother always does when a marriage is made, did not prevent her from having the first carefree, dreamless sleep that she had known since they dropped down the canyon and into Bear Valley, way, way back there when they were crossing those other mountains.

Stevens was grunting over the last empty pocket when Russ abruptly rose and lunged toward Carmer's hat, which had tumbled half-a-dozen feet away when he first fell.

At the first shot Russ had hurled his mount to the left toward the side of the winding draw.

A call to the police had been placed from here a couple of minutes after nine P.M., and the first police car had arrived two or three minutes after that -- 10 minutes ago now.

He had presented the first German performances of Puccini's Manon Lescaut and De Falla's La Vida Breve.

When I mentioned that for my first long voyage I did not even have the money for the return fare, but had trusted to luck that I would earn a sufficient amount, the young people looked at me doubtingly.
