Max Bill

Max Bill studied as a silversmith from 1924 to 1927 at Zurich "Kunstgewerbeschule", where he would later become a teacher. He later moved to Zurich, where he became quite versatile, working on architect, painter, graphic artist, sculpturist, and product designer. But he most liked painting, starting with mostly landscapes and portraits, but then later forming his own style that consisted of mostly geometric shapes and was very abstract. Bill was a member of Abstraction-Création from 1932-1936. He held his first gallery in 1933. He became the head architect of Bilden und Gestalten at the Swiss national exhibition in Lausanne, in 1964. Bill taught environmental design at Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste" in Hamburg.
