The artwork, titled “Viertelung eines quadrates,” was created by Max Bill in 1959 and is part of the Concretism art movement. It belongs to the abstract genre and exemplifies Bill’s precision and geometrical exploration within his oeuvre.
This minimalist composition features a square shape divided into four triangular sections. Each triangle is painted with soft, pastel colors including shades of light blue, pink, white, and a very light green. The colors are applied with subtle gradations, and the artwork’s simplicity and clean lines exemplify the principles of Concretism, emphasizing pure form and color. The square is rotated to sit on one of its corners, creating a dynamic yet balanced visual effect that invites contemplation.
