"For Max Bill (...) painting, more than a form of expression, is a visual act. A visual act that defines spaces and forms in aristocratic vibrant equilibriums as a visible translation of his belief that mathematical organisation is an effective means of freeing colour from material concretisation, enhancing the tonal value of its rhythm on a flat surface".

Marzio Pinottini, University of Turin, 'Filosofia ed Estetica e Fenomenologia degli Stili', in Max Bill, Galleria Narciso, 1984, exhibition catalogue


"Per Max Bill (...) la pittura, prima di essere espressione, è visualità. Una visualità che definisce spazi e forme in aristocratici equilibri vibranti per tradurre visibilmente in atto la sua convinzione che l'organizzazione matematica è un mezzo efficace per liberare il colore dalla concretizzazione materiale, per esaltare la valenza timbrica del suo ritmo su una superficie piana".
