Four Interrelated Colour Groups 1968

"Four Interrelated Colour Groups" (1968) by Richard Paul Lohse is a prime example of Concrete art, a style that emphasizes geometric forms and pure color relationships. The painting is composed of four distinct color groups - blue, red, green, and orange - which intersect and overlap, creating a visually dynamic and balanced composition. The use of bold, saturated colors and the precise arrangement of lines and shapes creates a sense of order and harmony. Lohse was a Swiss artist known for his exploration of color theory and geometric abstraction, and this work exemplifies his dedication to the principles of Constructivism, which sought to simplify visual language and create order from chaos.
