Bill Max, *1908 1994 (Winterthur, Switzerland) Worked with painting, sculpture, architecture, design, graphic arts and typography. Halbe Kugel um eine Achse,1965-1966 Black Swedish granite, diameter: 100 cm © Max Bill Influenced by his apprenticeship at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Max Bill, one of the most important proponents of Concrete Art, developed an artistic and plastic oeuvre based on mathematical principles, which he was also able to substantiate with theory. In keeping with his humanist credo, he strived to achieve a harmonious union of intellect and sensuousness which would have exemplary characteristics for an appropriate social and intellectual order. Halbe Kugel um eine Achse (Half a Sphere around an Axis) is a successful example of this. |
