“The Encounter” (Die Begegnung), painted in oil by Johannes Itten in 1916, is an avant-garde work that prefigures the Bauhaus style.

Like the iconic Bauhaus aesthetic, it features an abstract, geometric composition, blending rectangular, circular, and spiral forms with distinctive color arrangements characteristic of Itten’s color theory. (ss)
