Max Bill ( 1908 - 1994 ) was a Swiss architect, painter, typeface, industrial, and graphic designer. Bill is considered the single most decisive influence on Swiss graphic design beginning in the 1950's. He was a student at The Bauhaus School in Germany, where he studied under Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. During this time he began to formulate the principles of The Concrete Art Movement by expanding theories of Theo Van Doesburg, strongly guided by his training. Bill would become an influential figure in furthering the traditions of The Bauhaus designs.

His work is characterized by a clarity of design and precise proportions. As an artist he sought to create forms which visually represent the new physic of The Early 20th Century. The Modernist Bauhaus influenced art works of Max Bill are included in the collections of many of the world's most prestigious museums.
