Abstract
The author discusses a topological form invented by A. F. Moebius and arrived at independently by the visual artist Max Bill. He describes briefly the mathematical properties of the Moebius band and its use in the works of several other artists. He points out that since the Renaissance few artists have been concerned with the relationships between mathematics and other manifestations of the human spirit.
