Summary/Abstract: This research investigates the grid, a simple yet profound geometric structure, as a structural and conceptual model in modern and contemporary art. The grid transcends its role as a mere organizational tool, becoming a dynamic framework for mediating and exploring essential dichotomies, such as order–chaos, geometric–organic, and pure–impure.The study analyzes the evolution of the grid from the Renaissance, where it served as a technical device for perspective (Dürer), to early twentieth-century Modernism, where it became a symbol of artistic autonomy and abstraction (Mondrian, Malevich), and into the digital era.
