L'artiste suisse Max Bill a été à la fois architecte, graphiste, peintre, dessinateur industriel et illustrateur. Élève de grands noms tels que Wassily Kandinsky et Paul Klee, il a développé sa propre pratique de design proposant une interprétation contemporaine des sensibilités plus traditionnelles du Bauhaus. Dans ce premier volume d'une nouvelle biographie exhaustive, l'historienne de l'art Angela Thomas, veuve de l'artiste, raconte les années de formation de l'artiste depuis son enfance dans une petite ville suisse jusqu'à son passage au Bauhaus. Ici traduit en anglais pour la première fois, A Subversive Gleam offre aux lecteurs un récit approfondi des origines de l'un des designers les plus influents d'Europe.

Max Bill was a Swiss polymath bridging the worlds of design, architecture, art, publishing, advertising, and politics. This first part of an comprehensive monograph retraces Bill’s biography from his childhood to his Bauhaus training, his return to Zurich, and on until the late 1930s. The reader discovers a young Bill characterized by commitment, clarity in thinking, a highly critical mind, and a growing network of artists. Part biography, part eulogy, part memoir, this publication proposes insights into the pre-World War II cultural milieu of a European community of artists, designers, and architects.

Paperback. Etat : 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.
