He works with the most difficult material: with meaning-visual meaning.
The art of Max Bill conveys its content to the viewer. Through the work of this extraordinary artist, men can slowly become aware of their own power of invention, order, clarity, and beauty. Maybe they cannot yet completely explain themselves – it is probable that the eyes must first be cleaned of many ghosts that today debilitate their aesthetic sense - , but here it is certain that every man has the possibility to catch a glimpse of the marvelous.
