About this work

This painting is a big diamond shape made of flat, bright colors. Inside, there’s a smaller white square with a thin pink line across the middle. The edges are split into four triangles: blue, orange, yellow, and green. The top point is a tiny red triangle. The colors don’t mix—they stay sharp and clean, like blocks. It looks like the artist wanted to play with shapes and colors without any extra details. Next, check out Max Bill to see how he used simple shapes in other works.
