Provenance: In 1921 vervaardigde Huszar, geïnspireerd door de landszege van Max Euwe, een geometrisch schaakspel in ebbe- en palmhout. In 1973 werd een kopie gemaakt naar deze oorspronkelijke set in een oplage van 250 door J.P. Smid in Amsterdam, in opdracht van Kunsthandel Monet. Het oorspronkelijke spel werd 'Dada-schaakspel' genoemd omdat Huszar in die tijd samen met Van Doesburg, Nelly en Kurt Schwitters dada-voorstellingen verzorgde. Meer waarschijnlijk is invloed van het Bauhaus. Zie 'De Stijl', 5 1922, nr. 12.
Exhibited: Van 20 sept. 2013-5 jan. 2014 naar tent. In Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal, Leiden. 'Utopia: Expressionisme en constructivisme 1900-1940.

Vilmos Huszár, Hungarian by birth, was one of the founders of De Stijl in 1917, along with Mondriaan, Van der Leck and Van Doesburg. Before that time, actually from 1915, his work is characterized by a bright use of colour and a flat stylization under the influence of the cubism of Picasso and Braque. His wish to eliminate depth and perspective in the performance eventually led to compositions of blocks and beams after 1917. He also applied this in interiors as 'space-colour compositions'. Work by Huszár is extremely rare because to this day a large part of his oeuvre is untraceable.
