“WEISSE KOMPRESSION AUS KOMPLEMENTÄRFARBEN,” created by Max Bill in 1964, is an abstract artwork associated with the Concretism art movement. This geometric piece features a meticulous arrangement of complementary colors that epitomize the precision and clarity intrinsic to the Concretism genre.
The artwork is structured within a diamond-shaped frame, emphasizing its geometric nature. It is composed of four distinct triangular sections, which converge symmetrically at the center. The left segment is painted with a bold red hue, transitioning sharply into a vibrant yellow in the adjacent section. A slim, vertical white band separates the yellow from the green portion on the right, creating a visual equilibrium. The contrasting colors and their precise alignment exemplify the artist’s adherence to the principles of Concretism, where color and form are handled with rigorous discipline to produce a harmonious yet dynamic composition.
