Eva Streit meticulously reconstructs the innovative teaching methods of Johannes Itten (1888-1967) and portrays the personalities and contributions of other teachers at the Berlin Itten School from 1926 to 1934. The first monograph on the Itten School, based on newly uncovered sources, presents a picture of one of the most significant reformist art schools of the early 20th century, which consciously employed different design and educational concepts than the Bauhaus. The analysis includes factors contributing to its success, such as exhibition activities, public relations, and nationwide networking within the educational landscape. In addition to numerous student works, particular attention is given to the estate of Hannah Müller. The book includes a directory of students and source documentation.
