The book came in a pretty satisfying condition considering it's 35 years old. It arrived a bit late but I suspect the postal service in my country is to blame for that, so no complaints there.

Disappointingly scant content 8 Oct 2002
By Alfred Viola - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I know I'm going to anger some of the folks who really believe in this book, but I was really disappointed with how slim and scant the educational content was. There are very many black and white illustrations of the students' work related to Itten's teachings. And his outlook is very pure and creative. I really enjoyed that aspect of this book, but expected more meat! I wanted to know more specifically about conflict. I wanted him to go deeper. As it is, he brings up a well ordered set of concepts, explains them clearly and then moves on. In my opinion this book is wildly overpriced. I probably would give it four stars had it only cost me between seven and fifteen dollars. At thirty and change it's not worth it.

Don't expect a textbook 8 Oct 2008
By Andrew A. Gill - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Design and Form is a solid text, with many examples of the type of work that Itten tasked his students with. Itten does not, however, lay out a series of lectures for the student. Rather, Itten lays out a path of experimentation and self-discovery for the student to follow. Much of the content will be familiar to anyone who has read The Art of Color, and for those people, I could not recommend buying (nor could I recommend avoiding) this book. If the reader needs clarity on a subject, many examples prod the reader into finding a solution.

In sum: A good (but not great) text when considered on its own merits, and an average text when considered in conjunction with Itten's other works.

the basic course at the bauhaus and later

revised edition

first printing

1975

from rear cover"..the basic course at the bauhaus was designed as a trial period to judge students with varying educational backgrounds, to determine their creative talent, to help them in their choice of a career, and to teach them elementary design as a basis for future careers in the arts. each of the over 200 illustrations reproduced here is described in detail to help the reader understand the purpose of art teaching..........the book has universal appeal for a basic course as a means of individual creative growth and it can be used today by students and art teachers as a foundation for their own basic course.."
