The artwork, entitled “Plakat für Ausstellung Baden-Baden,” was created by Johannes Itten in 1965 using the silkscreen technique. Belonging to the Abstract Art movement, this piece measures 48 x 35 cm and falls within the abstract genre.
In the artwork, geometric forms and fields of color dominate the composition. At the top, a white triangle is juxtaposed with a red and an orange triangle underneath, forming a symmetrical composition. Below these, a series of rectangles in deep purple and various shades of blue complete the lower section. Each shape is delineated by bold black lines, creating a sharp contrast that emphasizes the geometric precision. The artwork’s use of primary and secondary colors within distinct planes is characteristic of Johannes Itten’s abstract style and his interest in color theory and form.
