About this title

Synopsis

Max Bill (1904–1994) – a product of the Bauhaus at Dessau, pupil of Walter Gropius, Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee – was a virtuoso designer whose work overlapped disciplinary boundaries, encompassing architecture, painting, sculpture, industrial and graphic design, as well as education. What unites all the work is a clarity and precision of expression. Through both his designs and his writings, Max Bill has long been a major figure of reference in the German-speaking world. This collection makes many of his key texts available in English for the first time.
