Halfway through his two-year service in the army  he came in contact with the works of Piet Mondrian, who was eight years older than he was, and had by then already gained some attention with his paintings. 

Van Doesburg saw in these paintings his ideal in painting: a complete abstraction of reality.

 Soon after the exposition Van Doesburg got in contact with Mondrian, and together with related artists Bart van der Leck, Antony Kok, Vilmos Huszár and Jacobus Oud they founded the magazine De Stijl in 1917.
