De Stijl /d? 'ste?l/ is the second studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes, released on June 20, 2000, on Sympathy for the Record Industry. The album reached number 38 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2002, when The White Stripes' popularity began to grow.
De Stijl ("the style" in English) was a Dutch art movement, which included the painter Mondrian.[8] Vocalist Jack White had been an admirer of the style for some time, especially of furniture designer Gerrit Rietveld. Rietveld designed the Rietveld Schröder House, which Jack and Meg White visited while on tour in the Netherlands. De Stijl was dedicated to both Rietveld and Blind Willie McTell.
