Elevate Your Space with Max Bill’s Mathematical Precision

Experience the pinnacle of Swiss Design and Concrete Art with Max Bill’s 1965 masterpiece, Acht farben im horizontal-diagonal-quadrat. This iconic composition is a testament to Bill’s philosophy that art can be generated through mathematical logic. At RedKalion, we have meticulously reproduced this work as a museum-quality fine art print, ensuring that the vibrancy of the eight distinct colors and the sharp geometric intersections are preserved with absolute fidelity.

The Significance of ‘Concrete Art’

Max Bill, a former student at the Bauhaus and a co-founder of the Ulm School of Design, was the leading proponent of Konkrete Kunst (Concrete Art). Unlike abstract art, which derives from nature, Bill’s work is ‘concrete’ because it exists solely on its own terms—structure, color, and form are the only reality. Acht farben im horizontal-diagonal-quadrat utilizes a rigorous grid system where horizontal and diagonal axes meet, creating a visual rhythm that is both intellectually stimulating and aesthetically harmonious.

Archival Craftsmanship by RedKalion

This 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) framed art print is designed to be a lifetime investment. We use 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper with a natural white, matte finish. This uncoated paper prevents glare, allowing the mathematical precision of Bill’s palette to shine under any lighting. The print is housed in a premium black wooden frame, crafted from responsibly sourced oak or ash. Measuring 20mm (0.79") in both width and thickness, our frames offer a substantial, high-end profile compared to standard 14mm alternatives.
