Domselaer was born at Nijkerk, Netherlands. In 1912, he traveled to Paris where he met the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872–1944), eventually becoming a part of Mondrian's artistic circle known as " De Stijl." Domselaer's piano suite Proeven van Stijlkunst (Experiments in Artistic Style, 1913–17) represented the first attempt to apply principles of Neo-Plasticism to music, and Mondrian asserted that pieces were created under the influence of the plus-minus painting he created around the year 1915 ( Blotkamp 1994, 159). This austere, mathematically based music represents an important but as yet unacknowledged precedent to minimalism[ citation needed] and has been little performed or recorded. He died at Bergen, Netherlands.
Domselaer's students have included the Dutch composers Nico Schuyt ( Wennekes 2001) and Simeon ten Holt ( Ramaer 2001).
At the Berlage Concourse in 1988, the Dutch pianist Kees Wieringa was one of the prize winners, playing piano music by Domselaer. He released a recording featuring the music of Domselaer in 1994 (DO Records CD, DR 001).
He married Maaike Middelkoop, with whom he had three children. [1] His son, Jaap van Domselaer (1923–1944), was a promising young poet when he was shot while trying to escape from German-occupied Netherlands to the liberated zone in 1944 ( Smit 2011). His daughter, Matie van Domselaer, married the situationists Constant Nieuwenhuys on 13 July 1942 ( Anon. 2012–2018) and Asger Jorn in 1950 ( Anon. n.d.).
