(*) Max Bill was a Swiss architect, painter, sculptor, graphic, typographic and industrial designer, advertiser, and educator.
He was born in Winterthur (Switzerland). From 1924 to 1927 he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, where he was influenced by Dadaism and Cubism. From 1927 to 1929 he studied arts at the Bauhaus in Dessau, where he approached the design’s functionalism. After finishing his studies he returned to Zurich to devote himself to painting, architecture, and graphic design.
In 1930 he created his own architectural studio and, as a member of the Deutsche Werkbund, he completed the Nuebühl estate in a modern style near Zurich.
In 1931 he adopted Theo van Doesburg’s theory of “concrete art,” according to which universality could be achieved through clarity.
In 1932 he worked as a sculptor and joined some artistic organizations such as Abstraction-Creation and the Allianz group of Swiss artists.
In 1944 Bill ventured into industrial design, designing an aluminum clock for Junghans, a firm with which he collaborated for several years, designing wall, kitchen, and wrist clocks with a rationalist style and industrial aesthetics. He organized the exhibition "Die gute industrieform," which aimed to promote the high quality of designed industrial objects. He also designed a minimalist stool, the Ulmer Hocker (1954), one of his best-known designs.
In 1951 he founded the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, Germany, a school that continued the Bauhaus tradition. In this institution he served as rector and head of the architecture and production design departments from 1951 to 1956. At this school Bill defended Bauhaus functionalism, believing that forms based on mathematical laws possessed an aesthetic purity and, therefore, universality.
In 1957, after leaving the HfG Ulm, he founded his own studio in Zurich and dedicated himself to sculpture, painting, and architecture.
From 1967 to 1971 he served as a member of the Swiss National Council, and later he became a professor at the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg.
In 1976 he became a member of the Academy of Arts in Berlin.
Max Bill died in 1994 in Berlin.
