Throughout history, people have been in search of all branches of art and have pursued differences. With this idea, innovations have been created through interaction in the branches of art and science, and new trends have emerged. One of these movements is the De Stijl movement, which was formed by a group of painters and architects who created their works by simplifying shapes and colors as defenders of pure work and universality. This movement showed its effect in the Netherlands between 1917 and 1931 and was created by the asymmetrical combination of vertical and horizontal, the artists created the visual and spatial order using only black, white, and basic colors. Piet Mondrian, the founder of the movement, is also known as a painter who was influenced by American Jazz music and transferred musical data to his paintings. In this study, the De Stijl movement and the paintings of Piet Mondrian and Theo Van Doesburg, one of the pioneers of the movement, were examined in terms of The De Stijl movement and music. This research has been examined as a descriptive qualitative study aiming to reveal the existing situation based on the literature review. It is based on document analysis, which is one of the qualitative data collection methods from an interdisciplinary perspective.
