Moderne Kunstkring (Dutch: ‘Modern Art Circle'). A society of Dutch artists founded in 1910 by the painter and critic Conrad Kikkert (1882–1965) with the aim of bringing modern developments from Paris (where Kikkert had recently settled) to the Netherlands. It held its first exhibition in 1911 at the
Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the artists represented including
Braque,
Cézanne (with no fewer than 28 works), and
Picasso.
Mondrian, who also exhibited, was so impressed by what he saw (including the first Cubist pictures publicly exhibited in the Netherlands) that he moved to Paris soon afterwards. The other Dutch artists who took part in the exhibition included Kees van
Dongen (who had lived in Paris since 1899), Leo
Gestel, and Jan
Sluyters. The society held comparably impressive exhibitions in 1912 and 1913 (the latter including more than a dozen works each by
Kandinsky and
Marc), but its activities were ended by the First World War. Theo van
Doesburg acknowledged the important role the Moderne Kunstkring played in introducing abstract art to the Netherlands, and De
Stijl was in a sense its successor.
