Max Bill

This 1932 poster for the nascent Zurich design manufacturer and retailer Wohnbadarf was created by Swiss polymath Max Bill four years after completing his studies at the Bauhaus and less than a decade before he co-founded the equally radical Ulm School of Design. It is reproduced from Fundacion Juan March's exceptional new overview, the most thorough Bill monograph ever published—spanning his work as an artist, architect, product designer, typographer, teacher and writer—and the only one currently in print. In 1951 Bill wrote, "The generation of the Bauhaus masters was still divided between artists and technicians. My generation has produced the type of designer for whom art is a vital issue, yet for whom collaborating on the tasks of society, on solving everyday problems, has become his life's work."
