Johannes Itten (1888–1967) is a Swiss artist, art theorist and teacher, known for his contribution to the development of colorism and art education. He was one of the founders of Bauhaus — the famous German school of art, design and architecture, where he taught the basics of color theory and composition. Itten developed a unique color wheel system that is still used today, and his theories about the effect of color on emotion and perception have a significant influence on contemporary art and design.
His famous book"The Art of Color"has become a classic in the study of color and is an essential guide for artists, designers, and teachers. Itten paid great attention to experiments with form and color, trying to find harmonious combinations and new ways of expression in art. His approach to teaching was innovative and encouraged student self-expression and individuality.
Johannes Itten's work continues to influence contemporary design, architecture, and art education, and his work remains relevant to those seeking to understand the principles of working with color.
