The artwork “Auflösung von lila” created by Max Bill in 1972, belongs to the Concretism art movement and is categorized within the abstract genre. This piece exemplifies Bill’s commitment to the principles of Concretism, focusing on geometric abstraction and a precise use of color and form.
The artwork depicts a complex interplay of geometric shapes primarily in shades of blue and purple. At its core, a central diamond shape, composed of various hues of purple, is surrounded by bands of lighter and darker blue, creating an illusion of depth and dimensionality. The precise alignment and symmetry of these shapes emphasize the artist’s meticulous attention to form and structure, a hallmark of the Concretism movement. The gradual transition from one shade to another within the confined geometric boundaries creates a harmonious visual experience, reflecting Bill’s mastery in manipulating color and shape to achieve a balanced and coherent composition.
