His geometric-mathematical, abstract art was significantly influenced by the universal ideas of the Bauhaus. In his works, Max Bill deals with Theo van Doesburg&#8217;s ideas of &#8220;concrete art&#8221; formulated around 1930: The means of design are colour, space, light and movement, the formation of which creates new realities without external reference to natural phenomena or their abstraction.
