{"product_id":"1-4-um-excentrum-iv-max-bill","title":"1-4 um excentrum IV - Max Bill","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise example of Concrete Art, this geometric composition by Max Bill uses primary colours and a rigorous grid to explore spatial balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax Bill was a central figure in the development of Concrete Art, a movement that prioritised mathematical precision and the autonomy of visual elements. In 1-4 um excentrum IV, Bill explores the relationship between colour, form, and spatial arrangement. The composition relies on a rigorous grid, where rectangular blocks of primary colours—red, yellow, and blue—are juxtaposed with black against a neutral white background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the artist's background in architecture and industrial design, fields where logic and clarity are paramount. By stripping away representational imagery, Bill invites the viewer to engage with the physical properties of the paint and the structural logic of the canvas. The title itself suggests a departure from a central axis, indicating an interest in off-centre balance and the tension created by asymmetrical placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBill studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau, where he encountered the teachings of Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. He later became a founding member of the Allianz group in Switzerland, which promoted the idea that art should be constructed according to objective principles. This piece is a clear example of his pursuit of visual harmony through calculated proportions. The interaction of the coloured segments creates a rhythmic progression across the surface, guiding the eye through a series of logical steps. There is no attempt to mimic the natural world; instead, the work exists as an independent object, defined by its own internal rules and geometric constraints. The clean edges and flat application of pigment demonstrate the artist's commitment to technical perfection, ensuring that the focus remains entirely on the interplay of the constituent parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/composition-sophie-taeuber-arp\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition by Sophie Taeuber-Arp\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/rhythmische-teilung-richard-paul-lohse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRhythmische Teilung by Richard Paul Lohse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Max Bill","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59138712076623,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59138718662991,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59138718695759,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59138718728527,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59138718761295,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59138718794063,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59138718826831,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59138718859599,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59138718892367,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59138718925135,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59138718957903,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59138718990671,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/1-4-um-excentrum-IV_Poster_CompositorV1_1792125768166.jpg?v=1792200305","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/1-4-um-excentrum-iv-max-bill","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
