“Verwanderte eikon des weissen quadrates,” created by Max Bill in 1969, is an abstract artwork that belongs to the Concretism art movement. The artwork features a square-oriented composition where geometric forms and pure colors are utilized to convey a sense of precision and clarity integral to Concretist principles.
The dominant element of the artwork is a large white square placed on a diagonal, giving the impression of a diamond shape. Surrounding this white square on three sides are precisely delineated triangles, each rendered in distinct, solid colors: a blue triangle at the top, a yellow triangle on the left, and a pink triangle at the bottom. The interplay of these geometric shapes and primary colors creates a balance and harmony, aligning with the artist’s dedication to mathematical precision and abstract aesthetic. The clean lines and understated color palette emphasize the formal qualities of shape and color, characteristic of the Concretism movement.
