		The preliminary course, as developed by Johannes Itten and continued by others after his departure, was part of the basic educational apparatus of the Bauhaus teachings.
		Itten considered that the contrast between light and dark was one of the most valuable and expressive means of creation.
		Itten saw the circle as signifying movement, the square as tranquillity, and the triangle as indicating a strong contrast of direction.

	Johannes Itten 1888 - 1967
		Itten developed a general theory of contrast, the main theme of which was the "clair / obscure contrast", as the basis for this course.
		Itten's departure was the first symptom of a general re-orientation of the school.
		Itten established a structural approach to the study and use of color based primarily on the light-dark opposition.

		Johannes Itten, in his book The Art of Color, summarizes the concept of harmony as follows: “Two or more colors are in harmony if they yield a neutral gray when mixed.” A further inquiry concerns the composition of harmonic accords with the color spectrum.
		Itten concludes: “In general one can say that harmony exists among all complimentary color pairs and all chords of three or four colors in which these colors enjoy an equilateral or isoscelean relationship, respectively.” The colors that are found in the middle of the color star are identical with the colors of the color circle.
		Johannes Ittens is unarguably recognized as the master of color from the Bauhaus school of art.

	Johannes Itten, "The Art of Color"
		Itten was born in Switzlerland, and his first training was not as a painter but rather as a school teacher in Berne, where he learned about psychoanalytic theory.
		Itten looked also at how color affects a person psychology and spiritually; he believed that there were certain characteristics inherent in particular colors that would have a direct influence on how the viewer felt.
		In his color sphere and color star, Itten attempted "to provide a clear and complete map of the world of color." Finding that the 12-hue color circle was insufficient, he went on to develop the color star, a more complicated way of looking at hues and their interactions with one another.

	The Fire Tower by Elena Marchetti and Luisa Rossi Costa for the Nexus Network Journal vol.4 no.2 (Spring 2002)
		An intriguing example of such an approach is the project for The Fire Tower by Johannes Itten, one of the most important exponents of the movement (Figure 1).
		Since then many researchers have taken an interest in it and have tried different reconstructions: the most recent reconstruction was commissioned by Fondazione Mazzotta [1] of Milan in 1995/1996, on the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the foundation of the Bauhaus, and is still located at the Kunstsammlungen zu Weimar.
		Itten's mathematical knowledge undoubtedly played an important role in the choice of the basic component of the tower.

		The portrait of Johannes Itten contains many clues to his personality; Itten wears a robe he designed and stands in front of the colour sphere he designed to demonstrate the relationships between colors.
		Furthermore, the shaved head and thoughtful gaze remind one of Itten's mystic tendencies --his strict adherence to Mazdaznan.
		Johannes Itten's Mazdaznan beliefs influenced the Bauhaus in a variety of way, from exercise and meditation sessions at the beginning of all his courses (his Basic Course was the only required course at the Bauhaus) to a vegetarian only kitchen serving the Bauhaus students.

		The recognition and creation of contrasts was Itten's key point, whether in different textures, collages of shapes, or the color proportions of Old Master paintings (which were reduced into color bar DNA sequences).
		There's a good reason Itten is remembered as a brilliant theorist and teacher but not as an artist: his paintings suck.
		For example, Itten was influenced by suibokuga (ink painting) and invited artist Takehisa Yumeji to teach it at his school.
