Public Guided Tour in French Itten - Klee

On the basis of prominent key works, the exhibition will investigate the artistic confrontation between Johannes Itten and Paul Klee on the subject of color. In the process the show will explore related aspects such as color and esoteric notions, aura and harmony of color, color and abstraction, color and nature, and color division. For the very first time we will be able to demonstrate that not only Klee influenced Itten, but also that Itten inspired Klee, and that both artists drew from a mutual source. Additionally the exhibition will explore color theory and how it was represented in the notes and diaries of both artists.
