About Max Bill
Max Bill, 1908-1994, was a constructivist, a student of Le Corbusier and Bauhaus, a member of the artists' group "Abstraction-Création", and a multiple award-winner, including the Kaiserring of the city of Goslar in 1982.
Bill worked with structured chords of colour that, in their intensity, function as a catalyst to the visible environment. Playful precision and imaginary magic make us forget the calculated colour gradients.
Max Bill was a brilliant intellectual who wanted concreteness - designing a clear world on a geometric basis and mathematical-logical structure.
