The artwork titled “Olympische Spiele München,” created by Max Bill in 1972, belongs to the Concretism art movement. It is a poster, designed to commemorate the Munich Olympic Games.
The artwork embodies the principles of Concretism through its use of geometric abstraction. Featuring a symmetrical composition, it utilizes an array of vibrant, solid colors divided into triangular sections that converge into a central white square. The colors used are primarily blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and purple, creating a dynamic and visually striking effect. The lower portion of the artwork includes the Olympic rings and the text “Olympische Spiele München 1972,” aligning the piece with the event it celebrates. The design’s simplicity and precision exemplify the concrete art movement’s emphasis on pure form and color.
