Quizplus · Accepted Answer

De Stijl artists emphasized the use of primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and non-colors (black, white, and gray) in their works, which created a sense of simplicity and objectivity. They also used straight lines and rectangles to create a sense of order and balance in their compositions.

Answer: B, C, D 
 These choices are incorrect, as De Stijl artists did use straight lines in their work, and while their art had political and social implications, it was not exclusively political. Additionally, De Stijl artists were concerned with the aesthetic and formal qualities of their works, rather than solely focusing on concepts.
