Inquiry - Vier gelbe Paare im weissen Feld, 1966 / 67

Created in the 1960s, Vier gelbe Paare im weissen Feld perfectly illustrates Max Bill's formalist approach, a leading figure of Concrete Art. In this painting, the artist plays with geometric rigor and the subtlety of chromatic interactions. Through the simplicity of shapes and precision in composition, Bill explores the principles of balance and visual harmony without relying on symbolism or narrative.

Born in 1908 in Switzerland and trained at the Bauhaus, Max Bill distinguished himself with a multidisciplinary approach. Influenced by Albers, he developed an aesthetic based on clarity and rigor, where each visual element is carefully calculated to produce a pure perceptual experience. In Vier gelbe Paare im weissen Feld, the repetition of forms and the mastery of proportions reflect his pursuit of a rational, almost scientific beauty.

Max Bill's works, housed in prestigious collections such as MoMA in New York and the Kunstmuseum in Basel, attest to his lasting impact on abstract art. Through his creations, he embodies the idea of art where form and content merge in the quest for universal harmony.
