Fifteen Variations on a Single Theme, v. 14 1938

Max Bill's "Fifteen Variations on a Single Theme, v. 14" from 1938 is a prime example of his exploration of geometric abstraction. This series of works, of which this is the 14th variation, embodies the artist's interest in mathematical precision and harmonious visual relationships. The work's structure, a series of overlapping shapes in vivid colors, creates an intricate visual interplay that captures the essence of Constructivism and the principles of the Bauhaus. Bill, born in Switzerland in 1908, became a leading figure in the development of Concrete Art, seeking to create art that was purely based on form and color.
