Dynamische farbdurchdringung 

This work, ‘Dynamische farbdurchdringung’, is a painting by Max Bill, whose date of creation is unknown. The painting features a network of geometric shapes and lines rendered in cool hues that intersect and overlap. These forms, though abstract, echo ancient geometric symbols found across cultures, from the pyramids of Egypt to the mandalas of Tibet. Consider the diamond shape, so prevalent here. It appears not only in sacred geometry, representing enlightenment, but also, in playing cards, where it symbolizes wealth and material desires. Bill’s shapes trigger a deep-seated fascination with form and order, resonating with humanity’s ongoing quest to find meaning and structure. The lines, like paths, create a roadmap that transcends time. It's a non-linear journey through space, emotion, and memory, and the cyclical progression of forms resurfaces and takes on new meaning in different historical contexts.
