Theo van Doesburg: Arithmetic Composition. 1929-1930.

Golden Rectangle
Theo van Doesburg (1883 - 1931) was a Dutch artist, practicing in painting, writing, poetry and architecture. He is best known as the founder and leader of De Stijl.

De Stijl, also known as neoplasticism, was a Dutch artistic movement founded in 1917. Proponents of De Stijl sought to express a new utopian ideal of spiritual harmony and order. They advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and color; they simplified visual compositions to the vertical and horizontal directions, and used only primary colors along with black and white.

Lake Erie and the Golden Rectangle


Lake Erie is the fourth largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes, and the tenth largest globally.

On February 7, 2009, New York Times reported that one man died after more than 100 ice fisherman who ventured a mile onto the western Ohio shores of Lake Erie Saturday had to be rescued after an eight-mile long portion of ice they were on broke away amid warming conditions and starting drifting north.

An ice floe is a floating chunk of ice that is less than 10 kilometers (six miles) in its greatest dimension. Wider chunks of ice are called ice fields.
