The founder of concrete art in Switzerland, Max Bill played an influential role not only as an architect, painter, sculptor and graphic artist, but also as an academic, politician and writer.

Throughout his career, Max Bill designed numerous posters, including one for the Munich Olympics in 1972.

In his introduction to the catalogue of the 1949 Zurich Concrete Art Exhibition, Max Bill formulates his vision as follows:
'The aim of Concrete Art is to develop objects for spiritual use, just as man creates objects for material use'.
Here he emphasises the difference between figurative and non-figurative art, and presents Concrete Art as an attempt to create objects that fulfil a similar function in the spiritual world to that of objects in the material world.

In his work, geometric shapes dictate the choice of colours, which are organised to create a visual impact and give a sense of order and structure.

Original screenprint numbered 26/75 and signed "Max Bill 70" in pencil.
