Johannes Itten, along with Walter Gropius and others, was one of the most important founders of the Bauhaus in Weimar, and a teacher at the same time. Even if Itten was not a mathematician, he had a great interest in different geometric forms, and revealed a great mathematical intuition. Itten realized “by hand” the important Fire Tower, applying translations, reductions and rotations of cubes and of portions of cone. On the occasion of the Kunstfest Weimar 2019, the organizers of the events, which were specifically dedicated to Itten, invited us to describe in mathematical language the lithograph entitled Das Haus des Weissen Mannes (1921), in which the cube is again the “protagonist” of mathematical transformations.

白人之家：数学描述

约翰内斯·伊滕和沃尔特·格罗皮乌斯等人是魏玛包豪斯最重要的创始人之一，同时也是一名教师。即使Itten不是数学家，他也对不同的几何形式有着极大的兴趣，并表现出极强的数学直觉。Itten“手工”实现了重要的火塔，应用了立方体和锥体部分的平移、减少和旋转。在Kunstfest Weimar 2019 之际，专门为Itten 举办的活动的组织者邀请我们用数学语言描述名为Das Haus des Weissen Mannes (1921) 的石版画，其中立方体再次成为“主角”。 ”的数学变换。
