Summary:
Max Bill, né en 1908 à Winterthur (Suisse) et mort à Berlin en 1994, fut un éminent architecte, peintre, sculpteur et théoricien de l'art. Le maître suisse a été un chercheur acharné de l'Espace, dans toutes ses déclinaisons possibles. L'Espace, ici, est entendu comme milieu anthropique ; comme un lieu construit par l'homme pour y héberger ses propres événements quotidiens, mais aussi comme un lieu de la pensée et des aspirations humaines.Tous ses projets, des toiles aux architectures, sont des quêtes sur de nouvelles conformations spatiales et sur leurs corrélations avec l'homme. C'est sur la base de ces prémisses, que se meut la rédaction de ce texte qui présente les projets, ou les événements, non de façon chronologique mais dans un ordre qui tend à démontrer - au fur et à mesure - les concepts qui sont à la base des recherches composites de Max Bill.

Summary:
A true Renaissance man with a clear, unified aesthetic vision, the Swiss artist, designer, architect and writer Max Bill combined the virtues of homo faber and homo ludens throughout his intensely productive career, launching the Concrete art movement and establishing himself as the single most decisive influence on postwar Swiss graphic design. This gorgeously designed, hefty volume—the most thorough Bill overview ever published in English, and the only monograph in print—presents Bill’s oeuvre both chronologically and thematically, across every facet of his multifaceted oeuvre: painting, graphic art, sculpture, architecture, book and magazine design, industrial and furniture design, graphic design and advertising typography—from large-format posters to small inserts in periodicals—as well as his designs for exhibition spaces. Bill stands out for his enormous influence on Latin American geometric art (through his 1951 retrospective at the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art), as well as for his essays, his work as an educator and his political and social concerns. All these aspects of his life and work are covered in this profusely illustrated catalogue, along with essays by scholars and a selection of previously unpublished essays by Bill himself.

Summary:
Swiss artist, architect, designer, typographer, and theorist Max Bill (1908–94) was one of the most important exponents of concrete and constructive art and a key figure in European applied arts and design history. Educated by such prominent teachers as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandisky, and Walter Gropius at the Bauhaus, at the start of his career in the 1930s. In the 1950s he teamed up with Inge Scholl and Otl Aicher to found the legendary Ulm College of Design in Ulm, Germany, of which he became the first director. In his work, Max Bill carried on the legacy of the Bauhaus, both as an artist and a teacher, and made a decisive and lasting contribution to twentieth-century cultural life. Max Bill accompanies an exhibition at the Museum MARTa Herford in Herford, Germany, held to mark the centenary of this exceptional artist. The exhibition displays Bill’s wide-ranging work, and it also sets him in the context of his cultural milieu by featuring works by his contemporaries, such as Kurt Schwitters, Wassily Kandinsky, and Donald Judd. Accompanying essays investigate Bill’s influence on other artists and the lasting importance of his oeuvre in the present.
