The artwork, titled “Acht farben im horizontal-diagonal-quadtrat,” was created by Max Bill in 1965. It belongs to the Concretism art movement and is categorized as abstract art.
The artwork features a square matrix of vibrant colors organized within a diagonal alignment, resulting in a composition of eight distinct segments. The segments are variously shaded in bright, contrasting colors, including blue, green, purple, yellow, pink, red, and orange. The geometrical configuration involves triangles and other polygonal shapes, creating a compelling visual interplay between hues and forms. The precise and methodical placement of colors emphasizes Max Bill’s commitment to the principles of Concretism, where art is constructed based on its intrinsic artistic properties without representing external objects. The dynamic yet harmonious arrangement underscores the abstract essence of the artwork.
