Johannes Itten icons

[cimorene]

Abstract art icons from the next of the fine artists associated with the Bauhaus: Johannes Itten (1888-1967). A Swiss expressionist painter and one of the core faculty at the Bauhaus, Itten did a lot of work with color wheels, color palettes, and color theory that is still influential today. (His work also iconizes a lot better than much of Klee's ouvre.)

can I use one of those icons? I feel like a change and they are gorgeous. The Klee post I meant to say sent me on a rabbit hole of nostalgia - we had a Klee print in one of the living rooms as a kid and I used to just drift staring at it.

Oh! Yes, I guess I forgot to say that in the post...

Thanks! 😊

Beautiful colors!

[cimorene]

Thanks! I didn't alter the colors of the paintings at all actually - Itten invented the color wheel and I guess he really knew his stuff! 😊

Wonderful stuff.

These are really beautiful and introduced me to an artist who is new to me. Thank you so much. I am taking two, the middle one in Row 2 and Row 4, and will credit. Cheers.
