Here, in this artwork, 'Radiazone bleu' the artist Max Bill arranges shades of blue into geometric forms. At first glance, a simple composition, but these precise shapes carry echoes from ages past. Consider the lozenge form prominently displayed. This diamond shape, which is a central element in the composition, appears in Paleolithic art. As we know, in ancient cultures it represented the vulva and symbolized fertility and the life-giving power of women. The careful calibration of color reminds me of the sacred use of blue in Renaissance Madonnas; it evokes feelings of peace and reflection that resonate with our subconscious understanding of geometric harmony. The image invites us to consider how symbols and forms persist and evolve, echoing through the ages in an almost cyclical return.
