# Radiation from White This striking color lithograph demonstrates Max Bill's mastery of geometric abstraction and his lifelong investigation into the relationships between form, color, and perception. Created in 1979, Radiation from White exemplifies the Swiss artist's rigorous approach to composition, where carefully calibrated bands of color appear to emanate outward from a luminous center. The work's title proves literal: the composition radiates from a white core, with successive layers of warm and cool hues expanding systematically across the composition. Bill's use of the lithographic medium allows for precise color registration and a subtle interplay between the printed surface and the white paper itself, which functions as an active compositional element rather than mere ground. Bill's systematic approach to color and form, refined through decades of work in painting, sculpture, and graphic design, reaches a particular eloquence in this print. The carefully numbered edition of 330 impressions indicates the artist's commitment to making his investigations into visual harmony accessible to a broader audience, a philosophy he maintained throughout his career. This impression, number 156 from the edition, retains the crisp registration and vibrant color saturation that characterize fine examples of Bill's lithographic work, offering collectors an opportunity to own a concentrated example of his profound exploration into the pure language of abstract composition.
