Circle of Signs. The Fourth 'Book of Schemes'. Album #1, the First Folder 1978

Valerii Lamakh's *Circle of Signs. The Fourth 'Book of Schemes'. Album #1, the First Folder*, created in 1978, is a geometric composition that features a circular frame composed of 16 compartments containing various shapes such as triangles, stars, crosses, diamonds, and circles. The artwork exhibits a minimalist style with a focus on black and white tones, highlighting the simplistic beauty of shapes. The circular composition and the distinct arrangement of geometric elements within the circular frame suggest a system of order and hierarchy. Lamakh's *Circle of Signs* represents an exploration of basic forms and their arrangement, reflecting a fascination with abstract principles.
