Theo van Doesburg was born '''Christian Emil Marie Küpper''' on 30 August 1883, in [[Utrecht]], Netherlands, as the son of the photographer Wilhelm Küpper and Henrietta Catherina Margadant. After a short period of training in acting and singing, he decided to become a storekeeper. He always regarded his stepfather, Theodorus Doesburg, to be his natural father, so that his first works are signed with Theo Doesburg, to which he later added "van".
Van Doesburg married three times: on 4 May 1910 to theosophist, poet and writer Agnita Henrica Feis; on 30 May 1917 to Helena 'Lena' Milius; and artist, pianist and choreographer [[Nelly van Doesburg|Petronella 'Nelly' Johanna van Moorsel]] on 24 February 1920.<ref name="Does-Baljeu"/>
