The artwork titled “1+2+3+4 in weiss” was created by Max Bill in 1969 and is associated with the Concretism art movement. It is an abstract piece, featuring a systematic and geometric approach typical of Concretism, which emphasizes pure form and color without reliance on naturalistic representation.
The artwork features a stark white background intersected by four parallel lines of varying, vibrant colors: red, blue, yellow, and green. These lines are neatly aligned, crossing each other at a perpendicular angle, creating four distinct quadrants. The minimalist composition and precise alignment of the colored lines on the white canvas reflect the artist’s commitment to clarity, order, and geometric abstraction, hallmarks of the Concretist movement. The simplicity and calculated arrangement of the elements lend the artwork a sense of harmony and meticulous craftsmanship.
