Bill, Max (1908-1994) , Swiss painter, sculptor, architect, and graphic designer, who was one of the most versatile exponents of the avant-garde principles of the Bauhaus school in Dessau, Germany. He was born in Winterthur, Switzerland, and studied at the Zürich School of Arts and Crafts in Switzerland from 1924 to 1927, and at the Bauhaus from 1927 to 1929. His insistence on a mathematical basis for all art is reflected in his paintings, marked by precise, often geometrical designs and carefully planned color relationships. His graphic and industrial designs are strongly functional. In sculpture, from 1935 to 1953, he produced in polished metal many variations on the endless loop. He influenced European art and industrial design as a lecturer and director of schools in Zürich and Ulm and as an organizer of art exhibitions, particularly those of concrete art (a term referring to nonfigurative, purely geometric forms) in 1944 and 1960. Bill also served as a member of the Swiss Parliament from 1967 to 1971.
