Robert van ‘t Hoff (1887-1979), Dutch architect and furniture designer, who from 1917 became an influential member of De Stijl movement. Family wealth allowed him to subsidise the publication of De Stijl journal, but for political reasons he split with the founder Theo van Doesburg in 1922, withdrawing from artistic activity and declaring himself an ‘ex architect’. He spent much of the rest of his life in England promoting his anarchist ideas, settling permanently in Hampshire from 1937. This intriguing personal archive of photographs demonstrates an artist with a designer’s eye for line and form, light and shade, and also contains previously unknown photographs of van ‘t Hoff himself.
