The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Max Bill in 1983 as part of the Concretism art movement. The genre of this artwork is abstract, showcasing the characteristic precision and clarity associated with Concretism.
This abstract artwork features a meticulous arrangement of geometric shapes, exhibiting a high degree of order and symmetry. Two large rectangular areas dominate the composition, surrounded by a series of smaller squares rendered in vibrant colors, including green, blue, orange, and pink. These squares are systematically placed, creating a repetitive and harmonious pattern around the negative spaces. The interplay of colors and the rigorous geometric structure underscore the principles of Concretism, focusing on purity of form and mathematical precision without representing recognizable objects from the natural world. The simplicity yet complexity of the artwork evokes a sense of balance and visual rhythm, aligning with Max Bill’s dedication to clarity and exactitude in his artistic endeavors.
