b. in Iceland. Based at different times in New York, Berlin and London, he is currently living and working in Iceland.
'Eggertsson’s work is entirely different. No sketches, doodles or brush strokes. No cutouts or found objects. His style takes advantage of pattern rules, vector shapes, lines and plenty of flat colour. It’s a bit like pixel art, softened with a nice analogue twist. He’s creating a feel that’s simple and expressive, and what is giving him the staying power - and capturing the imagination of art directors and his fellow illustrators - is that he’s continuing to develop it.'
“I’ve always been interested in simplifying things and at some point I started playing with the combination of geometric shapes and colour,” he says. “I kept on developing this, my rules within the grid became more defined and strict, but at the same time, the shapes became softer. It’s still developing and I’m really interested in how far I can take the style.”—Interview with Garrick Webster for computer arts.

Hans Neuburg
Schweizerischer Werkbund (SKW) Ausstellung
Kunstgewerbemuseum Zürich, 1950
Felix Wiedler writes:
"The swiss werkbund (swb), founded in 1913, is an association of designers and architects whose goal is to achieve "good and functionally" designed products. This is the catalogue of an exhibition which showed the work of the zürich group. The catalogue cover is a design by hans neuburg (1904-1983), one of the pioneers of the swiss "constructive" graphic design style. Neuburg also contributed a text "grafik nach swb-norm": he propagates an ascetic design style without ornaments – in the vein of industrial design, modern architecture and "concrete" art."

Max Bill (1908-1994) Switzerland
Swiss-born German artist, Max Bill, was a product of the Bauhaus generation, pupil of Walter Gropius and kindred spirit of Le Corbusier and Mies VanderRohewas. He was a virtuoso designer and creative artist, as his diverse activities as a painter, architect, sculptor, teacher, and designer amply demonstrate.
