Legion XVII 1997

"Legion XVII" (1997) is a minimalist abstract painting by German artist Helmut Federle (1944-). The work exemplifies Federle's signature style, characterized by simple geometric forms and a restricted color palette. In this painting, a series of parallel lines, rendered in muted shades of green and black, dominate the composition. These lines, creating an illusion of depth, evoke a sense of order and repetition, referencing themes of structure and the passage of time. Federle's abstract works invite viewers to contemplate the interplay between form, color, and space.
