“Eight Colour Groups” is an abstract artwork created by the artist Max Bill in 1947. This piece is representative of the Concretism art movement.
The artwork is characterized by an intricate pattern of geometric shapes, primarily squares, arranged systematically across the canvas. The colors employed are vivid and varied, forming distinct groups that give the piece its name. The palette includes deep purples, various shades of blue, greens, black, white, and bold orange. The interaction of these colors and shapes showcases a harmonious yet complex compositional structure that exemplifies the principles of Concretism, focusing on the purity of geometric abstraction and the autonomous reality of art forms.
