Max Bill. The master's vision
Description
Max Bill was probably the most important Swiss artist of the 20th century. The film offers an introduction into his prolific work as architect, designer, sculptor and painter. During his lifetime he was a rebel -- today he lives ever present amongst the most influential artists of the 20th century. A former Bauhaus student, his name stands for a gesamtkunstwerk of the avantgarde, which is firmly focused on the future, which bears a social responsibility and which intrinsically contains an engaged political message. What mattered for Max Bill was the creation of our environment and a green consciousness, which is currently of incredible imminence.
