Reviews Mondrian’s exhibition and gets in touch with him
Halfway through his two years of army service, van Doesburg reviews an exhibition by Piet Mondrian for a magazine and, inspired by Mondrian’s abstractions, gets in touch with him. On 6 November 1915 he writes in print that for Mondrian the line has almost become a work of art in itself.

Founds the magazine De Stijl
Together with Piet Mondrian, Bart van der Leck, Antony Kok, Vilmos Huszár and Jacobus Oud, van Doesburg founds the magazine De Stijl, in which he sets out the programme of the new movement, and becomes the “ambassador” of Neoplasticism, promoting its ideas across Europe.
