Together, Peggy Guggenheim (1898-1979) and Nelly van Doesburg (1899-1975) made a crucial contribution to art movement De Stijl. Not by making art, but by promoting, exhibiting, and buying De Stijl at a time when next to no one had faith in the geometric form language of Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondrian, and many others. It is partly due to their efforts that De Stijl was in the limelight shortly before and after the Second World War and that the movement was recognized internationally as one of the most important art movements ever brought forth by the Netherlands.This richly illustrated publication tells the story of two strong and liberated art ambassadors in a world dominated by men.
