Description from the seller

Max Bill (1908–1994) – Composition with Four Fields, 1971
Silkscreen on cardboard, stamp-signed, with blind embossing

* Original silkscreen by Max Bill
* Dated 1971
* Stamp-signed
* With blind embossing (Euro Art)
* Dimensions 65 x 50 cm
* Condition: Good, with light stains and some slight edge wear

This high-quality silkscreen by Max Bill from 1971 embodies the consistent fusion of art, mathematics, and design that made the Swiss artist one of the most important figures in 20th-century Concrete Art. The strictly structured composition of colored, slightly offset lines creates a fascinating interplay of order, movement, and optical tension. Despite its geometric clarity, the work feels vibrant and dynamic—a hallmark of Bill’s artistic output.

Max Bill studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau and further developed the ideas of Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and especially the constructive avant-garde. His works sit in direct tradition of Concrete Art as formulated by Theo van Doesburg. At the same time, there are close art-historical connections to artists such as Richard Paul Lohse, Josef Albers, Victor Vasarely, and François Morellet.

The silkscreen features a stamp-signature as well as a blind embossing from the publisher, underscoring its authenticity and quality. The excellent print execution and the iconic imagery make this print an attractive collectible for enthusiasts of Concrete Art, the Bauhaus, and geometric abstraction.
