Sphère couleur

The choice of colours for Spuère couleur is the product of a rational logic, inherited from Max Bill, first used by Le Parc in 1959 in a series on paper and tracing paper (Projet Couleur), which he abandoned in 1960. The principle is purposely simple and explicit: according to a simple combinatory scheme, each one of the fourteen circles is painted in one of the fourteen colours of the spectrum, which he chose beforehand.
