“Konzentration von elementarfarben,” created by Max Bill in 1965, is an abstract piece belonging to the Concretism art movement. The artwork exemplifies the genre’s emphasis on geometric abstraction and the use of primary colors.
In the artwork, the canvas is positioned as a diamond, enhancing the dynamic composition. It features a dominant blue section on the left and a red section on the right, divided by a central vertical band comprised of yellow and white. The use of primary colors and clean geometric shapes reflects the principles of Concretism, emphasizing clarity, order, and mathematical precision. The deliberate arrangement of color fields and the precise alignment of lines create a sense of balance and harmony, characteristic of Max Bill’s artistic philosophy.
