*Hotel Central Background*

In 1931, the monumental Hotel Central was built opposite the station in Tilburg in Art Deco style by architect Casper Melchior Balthasar van den Beld. Before that time, the location was home to the café-restaurant Albert Janssen.

During World War I, Theo van Doesburg was stationed as a sergeant-postman on the Regte Heide between Tilburg and the Belgian border. The café-restaurant of Albert Janssen served as a meeting place for Van Doesburg and his artistic friends, who organized sensational Dadaist *soirees intimes* there. Preliminary ideas for a new magazine, *De Stijl*, were also formulated here, marking the beginning of the De Stijl art movement, founded in 1917 in Leiden. The outlines of this renewal movement were sketched in pencil at this location on Spoorlaan in Tilburg.

As a tribute to the spirit of innovation of that era, during the 2023 renovation of Hotel Central, it was decided to name each of the 21 rooms after an artist associated with De Stijl or a Dada artist.

In the figure of Theo van Doesburg, who wrote Dadaist poems under the pseudonym I.K. Bonset, De Stijl and experimental absurdist Dadaism come together. Both art movements, which were reactions to World War I and the new era ushered in by the 20th century, were diametrically opposed in their approaches.

Each of the 21 rooms in Hotel Central has been uniquely decorated, featuring specific accents and/or quotes from the respective artist, writer, or architect.

### Room 15: César Domela Nieuwenhuis Room (Amsterdam, 1900 – Paris, 1992)

César Domela was a self-taught polymath. He used a variety of media to develop his creative vision. In addition to being an interior designer, he was a screen printer, lithographer, typographer, linocut artist, photographer, sculptor, goldsmith, jewelry designer, and mosaic artist. He also painted and drew, creating monumental works. Domela became a member of *De Stijl* in 1925 and was a close friend of Theo van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian, who, like him, also have rooms named after them on this third floor of Hotel Central.

The colors of the walls in Room 15 are inspired by the painting *Composition* (1923), which is part of the collection of the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.
