“Geometric Composition” is an abstract artwork by Max Bill created in 1966. It is associated with the Concretism art movement, reflecting an emphasis on concrete art that privileges pure abstraction and geometrical forms over representational qualities.
The artwork presents a grid of colorful diamonds, juxtaposed to create a visually stimulating pattern. The use of colors and their arrangement convey a sense of rhythm and balance, without depicting any natural forms, which is characteristic of the Concretism movement. Each colored diamond contributes to an overall harmony, allowing the viewer to appreciate the composition as a cohesive whole. The selection of colors appears thoughtfully curated, with each shade distinctly contrasting with its neighbors, enhancing the geometric clarity and emphasizing the abstractness of the work. The artwork symbolizes the idea that art can exist as an autonomous entity, free from the constraints of representing the natural world.
