At its root, modernism is that fundamental. It is a question of having something to represent that is of the moment. In the most radical interpretation, modernism always comes too late. The modern is that which is always new, which is to say, always changing and already old by the time it has appeared. Modernism is always a retrospective act, one of documenting or trying to catch what has already appeared - an attempt to fix life as it is being lived. Modernity is just the very fact that we as human beings are continually remaking the world around us through our actions, and are doing so consciously. Modernism is a monument to or memory of that act, which in its own making tries to remake the world it is pretending to represent.

The design for the legendary artist's house Maison d'Artiste is one of the key works of Dutch avant-garde movement De Stijl. Created in 1923 by painter Theo van Doesburg and architect Cornelis van Eesteren, the design shows what De Stijl aspired to: a new everyday environment through the harmonious fusion of painting and architecture. Maison d?Artiste. Unfinished De Stijl Icon explores the revolutionary cultural importance of the design and its significance for the history of De Stijl and discusses the dilemmas around contemporary realization of the unbuilt design compared to other executed designs of famous twentieth-century architects, such as John Hejduk and Le Corbusier. With a foreword by architect and government architect Floris Alkemade.
