  • NEW WORLDS – Chance and Order

  • How can artworks be created when depicting reality is no longer the central focus? For more than a century, artists have been searching for new answers to this question. Robert Delaunay, Wassily Kandinsky, and Piet Mondrian each experiment in their own way with boldly coloured, interrelating geometric forms. Max Bill takes up the musical idea of variations on a theme and develops a series of 15 lithographs, all based on the same initial motif. In the group of works entitled ›Chance and Order‹, Kenneth Martin intentionally incorporates chance into the creative process—a deliberate departure from the idea of artistic intuition. This results in forms that are surprising for the artist himself.
