Plakate Von Max Bill 1950-1968 Plakate Max Bill 1950-1968 1 2 Plakate von Max Bill 1950-1968 3 4 Max Bill (*1908 Winterthur; †1994 Berlin) Max Bill absolvierte zunächst eine Silberschmiedlehre an der Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich und studierte anschliessend am Bauhaus in Dessau Architektur. 1929 liess er sich als Architekt, Grafiker, freier Künstler und Publizist in Zürich nieder. Ab 1939 wirkte er als grafischer Gestalter in der Abteilung Städtebau und Landesplanung an der Schweizerischen Landesausstellung in Zürich mit. 1944 erhielt Bill einen Lehr- auftrag für Formlehre an der Kunstgewerbeschule Zürich; zeitgleich begann er mit der Tätigkeit als Produktgestalter. 1949 organisierte er die erste Sonderschau «Die gute Form» an der Mustermesse in Basel. Von 1951 bis 1956 amtete Bill als Rektor und Leiter der Abteilungen für Architektur und Produktform an der Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG) Ulm. Anschliessend widmete sich Bill ganz der Architektur und der freien Kunst. Nach dem Entwurf seines eigenen Hauses richtete Bill 1931 Wohnung und Atelier für einen Maler und Zeichner in der Siedlung Neubühl in Zürich ein. Sein grösstes Architekturprojekt wurde jedoch 1950 der Bau der HfG in Ulm. Ab den 1930er-Jah- ren knüpfte Bill erste Kontakte zur Wohnbedarf AG an, für die er in den Gründungs- jahren die visuellen Kommunikationsmittel gestaltete. Auch die Ladenbeschriftung geht auf Bills Entwurf zurück. 1949 entwarf Bill für die Wohnbedarf AG zudem den bei Horgenglarus hergestellten Dreirundtisch. Gemeinsam mit dem Designer Hans Gugelot und dem Schreiner Paul Hildinger entwickelte er in Ulm den berühmten Mehrzweck-Hocker und weitere Einrichtungsgegenstände. 1951 gestaltete Bill den Schweizer Pavillon der IX. Triennale di Milano. Mit seiner Pavillonskulptur, die seit 1983 an der Zürcher Bahnhofstrasse steht, ist Bill einem breiten Publikum bekannt geworden. Mit seinem malerischen Werk gilt er als einer der Hauptvertreter der Zürcher Konkreten. In der angewandten Grafik fand Bill zu einer formalen und farblichen Konzentrati- on, die der raschen Aufnahme der Werbebotschaft entgegenkam. Frühe Plakate der 1930er- und 1940er-Jahre zeigen oft noch einen freien, illustrativen Zugriff. Zu einem Klassiker wurde jedoch schon 1931 sein berühmtes Plakat «Negerkunst» für eine Ausstellung im Kunstgewerbemuseum Zürich, welches mit seiner reduzierten Strenge und der rein assoziativen Umsetzung des Ausstellungsinhalts seiner Zeit weit voraus war. Spätestens ab den 1950er-Jahren folgte Bill den Leitlinien konst- ruktivistischer Grafik und entwarf einige prägnante Ausstellungsplakate. Eine eigene Werkgruppe bilden Bills Künstlerplakate, mit denen er für seine eigenen Ausstel- lungen warb. Sie würdigen stets eines seiner konkreten Gemälde, Signatur und die Ausstellungsinformationen sind häufig handschriftlich hinzugesetzt. 5 1950 Bill Max Futurismo & pittura metafisica Kunsthaus Zürich 1950 Buchdruck einfarbig 100 x 70 cm Quelle: ZHdK_02-0221 6 7 1950 Bill Max Europäische Kunst XIII. bis XX.

  • “From Surface to Space”: Max Bill and Concrete Sculpture in Buenos Aires
    “FROM SURFACE TO SPACE”: MAX BILL AND CONCRETE SCULPTURE IN BUENOS AIRES “FROM SURFACE TO SPACE”: within it. Artists such as Carmelo Arden Quin, Claudio Girola, Enio Iommi, MAX BILL AND CONCRETE SCULPTURE IN BUENOS AIRES and Gyula Kosice, among others, created sculptures that emphasize the artwork’s existence as a material presence rather than a representation. Francesca Ferrari I propose that these sculptures invoke visual, tactile, and synesthetic responses in the viewers that are meant to look at and move around them, concretizing Bill’s ambition to propel a practice for which “space is not Man’s relationship to his environment, and thus to space, has considered as something outside of the artistic relationship, but as a basic undergone a profound transformation in our century. This is most component of artistic expression.”7 The experiments of Bill’s Argentine evident in art.

  • Bill Title: Max Bill 1966 Medium: Limited Edition Poster B.1908, Winterthur, Switzerland D
    The Trinity College Dublin Art Collections Artist: Max Bill Title: Max Bill 1966 Medium: limited edition poster b.1908, Winterthur, Switzerland d. 1994, Zurich Born in Switzerland, Max Bill was an architect, sculptor, painter, industrial designer, graphic designer and writer. He attended silversmithing classes in Zurich from 1924 to 1927. Then, inspired by the works of Le Corbusier and by a competition entry for the Palace of the League of Nations, Geneva, by Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer, Bill decided to become an architect and enrolled in the Bauhaus, Dessau, in 1927. He studied there for two years as a pupil of Josef Albers, László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Klee and Vasily Kandinsky, mainly in the field of ‘free art’. In 1929 he returned to Zurich, and after working on graphic designs for a few modern buildings being constructed, he built his first work, his own house and studio (1932–3) in Zurich-Höngg. Bill considered himself an architect but is mainly known nowadays for his design and art, particularly his influence on 20th century Graphic Art. As a theorist and a painter he was an important exponent of Concrete Art, an art based on rational principles with reference to mathematics. From 1937 onwards he was a prime mover behind the Allianz group of Swiss artists and in 1944, he became a professor at the school of arts in Zurich. Several years later Bill became a founding member of the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, Germany (HfG Ulm), a design school in the tradition of the Bauhaus. While teaching at the school, Bill produced one of his most famous designs - the "Ulmer Hocker" of 1954, a stool that could also be used as a shelf element or a side table.

  • 2018 / 2019 Live Your Style
    2018 / 2019 Live your style. 2 3 Live your style. Junghans watches have a long history and a great tradition, in which watchmaking and art harmonise wonderfully on the wrist. The expertise and years of experience of our designers have succeeded in giving time its own face – and many people the feeling of always being impeccably turned out with a Junghans watch. Our watches are consciously understated, preferring to underscore the personality and attitude of the wearer. Because true style is never loud, it deliberately favours the more restrained approach. It is from this philosophy that many of our classic watches have arisen. Maybe this is also why a Junghans watch is one of the most stylish compliments you can pay yourself – and your wrist. 4 5 Schramberg, 1861: To make watchmaking history you need to be ahead of your time. Creative inventors brought greatness to south- western Germany and the precision engineering industry of the Black Forest. Innovative ideas also brought technological changes to traditional watchmaking. This gave rise to companies that still set international standards to this day. In the 19th century they were already exporting their products throughout the world. One such com- pany was Junghans. Founded in 1861 by Erhard Junghans, the company grew rapidly and was soon making history not only in the fields of clock and watchmaking, but also of industry and archi- tecture. By 1903 Junghans was the largest clock manufacturer in the world. In 1961, the year of the company’s centenary, 20,000 clocks and watches of all kinds were produced each day by 6,000 employees, using 10,000 machines, with the out- put exported to 100 countries.
