The artwork titled “Pythagoras (2)” was created by the artist Mel Bochner in 2006. It belongs to the Conceptual Art movement and falls within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a series of red squares and triangles that spiral into two larger spirals, arranged on an off-white or greyish background with intersecting lines that create a sense of structure and complexity. The geometric shapes convey a sense of mathematical precision, aligning with the artwork’s title reference to Pythagoras. The mixed tones and uneven application of color in the shapes add layers of depth and texture. The composition exemplifies conceptual art by focusing on ideas and intellectual engagement, inviting viewers to explore abstract notions rooted in mathematics and geometry.
