This gorgeously designed, hefty volume—the most thorough Bill overview ever published in English, and the only monograph in print—presents Bill’s oeuvre both chronologically and thematically, across every facet of his multifaceted oeuvre: painting, graphic art, sculpture, architecture, book and magazine design, industrial and furniture design, graphic design and advertising typography—from large-format posters to small inserts in periodicals—as well as his designs for exhibition spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBill stands out for his enormous influence on Latin American geometric art (through his 1951 retrospective at the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art), as well as for his essays, his work as an educator and his political and social concerns. All these aspects of his life and work are covered in this profusely illustrated catalogue, along with essays by scholars and a selection of previously unpublished essays by Bill himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bendowa Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47981853409454,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/0149\/3166\/files\/Max-Bill.jpg?v=1781374765","url":"https:\/\/bendowabooks.com\/products\/max-bill","provider":"Bendowa Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
