Publisher's Synopsis
Max Bill was a Swiss polymath bridging the worlds of design, architecture, art, publishing, advertising and politics. This first part of a comprehensive monograph retraces Bill's biography from his childhood to his Bauhaus training, his return to Zurich, and on until the late 1930s. The reader discovers a young Bill characterised by commitment, clarity in thinking, a highly critical mind and a growing network of artists. Part biography, part eulogy, part memoir, this publication proposes insights into the pre-World War II cultural milieu of a European community of artists, designers and architects.
