Homenaje a Max Bill o Guatemala 

This painting by Lidy Prati, titled 'Homenaje a Max Bill o Guatemala' presents a striking arrangement of geometric forms set against a vibrant red background. It evokes an immediate sense of order and balance. Nine squares dominate the composition, each delineated by contrasting outlines: most are dark green, one is white and one is blue. This grid-like structure provides a framework for exploring color relationships and spatial dynamics. The choice of primary colors—red, white, and blue—and the geometric precision reflect Prati's engagement with the principles of Concrete Art, which sought to create purely abstract compositions based on mathematical principles. Yet, the subtle imperfections in the hand-painted lines and the slight variations in color density introduce a human element, softening the rigidity of the geometric structure. This interplay between precision and imperfection invites us to consider how Prati both adheres to and subtly subverts the ideals of Concrete Art, creating a dynamic tension that challenges fixed meanings and encourages ongoing interpretation.
