When the State Bauhaus opened in Weimar in 1918, the Swiss artist
and art theorist Johannes Itten (1888 - 1967) was one of the first
teachers to be appointed by Walter Gropius. With his preliminary
course, Itten had a considerable effect on the creative training in
the Bauhaus; to this day his insights into the theory of colours
set standards in art education and in the field of design.
Enquiring mind and lecturer, painter and art teacher - Johannes
Itten was a very thoughtful artist personality which was reflected
in numerous theoretical texts and artworks covering a wide range of
styles. Constantly in dialogue with students and colleagues as well
as in a study of other cultures and artistic ideas, Itten created
works in which he examined colours, their aura, contrasts and
forms. Inspired by Adolf Hoelzel, his teacher at the Stuttgart
Academy, Itten developed, amongst other things, the famous doctrine
of colour types whose significance extends far beyond the realms of
art into everyday culture. The acknowledged Itten expert Christoph
Wagner introduces the artist with his complex and symbolic work and
traces an arc from the revolutionary Bauhaus teacher and founder of
various art schools to the art theorist of the theory of colours.
