Inhaltsangabe
Max Bill (1908–1994)―designer, artist, sculptor, and architect―took a stand on social and political topics with the same commitment that he brought to artistic and cultural issues. This first volume of an impressive sweep of a monograph guides the reader along the loosely spun thread of Bill’s biography―from his childhood and youth, through his time at the Bauhaus, his return to Zurich, and on through the late 1930s. Meticulously researched and adeptly highlighting historical, social, and personal connections in Bill’s life, this monograph invites the reader to discover an artistic and political pre–World War II milieu inhabited by artists such as Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy- Nagy, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Max Ernst, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Georges Vantongerloo, Ignazio Silone, Aline Valangin, and Le Corbusier. Art historian Angela Thomas’s rare narrative gift breathes life into the history and stories of Bill’s early years, creating a web of connections with Bill at its center. This is a book to read straight through or to leaf backward and forward, savoring stories, episodes, artwork, and photographs from Bill’s artistic and personal life.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The early life of a modernist polymath and concrete-art pioneer: the first of a new two-volume biography by Bill's widow, art historian Angela ThomasSwiss artist Max Bill (1908-94) was a master of many trades during his lifetime: he was at once an architect, graphic designer, painter, industrial designer and typeface designer. A student of greats such as Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee at the Bauhaus in Dessau, Bill developed his own unique practice of integrated design under their tutelage, cultivating a more contemporary interpretation of more traditional Bauhaus sensibilities. He went on to become one of the main advocates of the concrete art movement, joining the Allianz group of Swiss artists in 1937. In this first volume of a major new biography, Bill's widow, art historian Angela Thomas, recounts the formative years of Bill's life from his childhood in a small Swiss town to his time at the Bauhaus. With a lively cadence that speaks to her intimate knowledge of the architect himself, Thomas details Bill's beginnings in Zurich as a young independent designer as part of a larger portrait of Europe's political and artistic world in the decades before World War II. Originally written in German and now translated into English for the first time, A Subversive Gleam provides readers with an in-depth account of the origins of one of Europe's most influential designers.
