Note: Term coined in 1930 by Theo van Doesburg to characterize a form of non-figurative painting in which the pictorial elements, planes and colors, have no significance other than themselves. He meant to distinguish between other forms of abstraction, indebted to illusionism mimicing the visible or natural world, and paintings that are products of the human mind. The definition was elaborated upon by Max Bill in 1936 in a catalog for the exhibition Zeitprobleme in der Schweizer Malerei und Plastik. In 1960 Bill organized an exhibition of work that fit his definition, and that established Concrete art as an international movement.

Additional Notes:
French ..... Terme inventé en 1930 par Theo van Doesburg pour caractériser une forme de peinture non-figurative dont les éléments picturaux, plans et couleurs, n’ont d’autres significations qu’eux-mêmes. Il entendait ainsi faire la distinction entre d’autres formes d’abstraction issues de l’illusionnisme et imitant le monde visible ou naturel, et les peintures qui sont le produit de l’esprit humain. Cette définition sera approfondie par Max Bill en 1936 dans un catalogue de l’exposition « Zeitprobleme in der Schweizer Malerei und Plastik ». En 1960, Bill organisa une exposition d’œuvres conformes à sa définition, qui fit de l’art concret un mouvement international.
