Johannes Itten (1888-1967), an educator and painter known for teaching at the Bauhaus from 1919 to 1923. This book, which describes color theory, is a classic masterpiece of art and design, and this theory "already forms the basis of progressive art education around the world" (from the cover). In addition to explaining the visually perceptible color effects such as color harmony, hue contrast, color mixing, and composition with reprinted elaborate color plates, Western paintings such as Picasso, Rembrandt, and Matisse, Chinese calligraphy and sumi-e , I will also cite the works of landscape paintings, and read these masterpieces from the color composition and color composition. The translator, Hiroshi Ohchi, is also a graphic designer and the first art director of the Japanese design magazine "Idea". Although a revised version was released later, this book is the first edition published in 1964 with 1000 copies.
