Compression to Purple 1965

"Compression to Purple" (1965) is a minimalist painting by Swiss artist Max Bill. This work, like much of Bill’s oeuvre, showcases his dedication to geometric abstraction. The canvas is dominated by a vibrant yellow field, punctuated by a central vertical line composed of thin, contrasting bands of white, pink, and green. This simple composition exemplifies the artist's pursuit of pure form and color, making the piece a quintessential example of Concrete Art.
