Max Bill – Komposition / Composition 2, 1992 – Silkscreen

Silkscreen print on paper.

Sheet size: 65 × 50 cm, Image size: 44 x 44 cm.

Signed and dated in the lower right; numbered in the lower left.

'Komposition / Composition 2' by Max Bill is a silkscreen from 1992, produced just two years before his death, placing it among the final resolved statements of a career defined by Concrete Art's founding principles. The image is structured as two near-identical vertical panels set side by side, each composed of broad diagonal bands in violet, magenta, orange, and deep green. The left panel reads as a tighter, more compressed arrangement; the right opens the same sequence outward, letting the orange and green dominate the lower half. Bill's method, rooted in mathematical proportion rather than intuition, is visible in the precision of each edge and the deliberate sequencing of colour intervals. As a co-founder of the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm and a central figure in postwar European Concrete Art, Bill treated colour and geometry as a logical system — this late silkscreen stands as a clear, disciplined example of that position.

What is concrete art?

What is concrete art?

Concrete Art is an art movement founded by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in the 1930s. The movement emphasizes pure abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and colors without any reference to the natural world or symbolic meaning. Unlike other forms of abstract art, Concrete Art is entirely non-representational and is based on mathematical principles and precise execution. It aims to create universal, timeless works by using simple, clear forms that emphasize objectivity and clarity.
