Mazdaznan Health and Breath Culture

"This book explores the intimate relationship between Mazdaznan, Johannes Itten and the Vorkurs (Preliminary or Foundation Course) at the Bauhaus, Weimar. It is a practical guide to performing the exercises that Itten taught at the Bauhaus and a celebration of a moment of mysticism at the heart of Modernism ... [It] has been newly illustrated by Ian Whittlesea with drawings of current Foundation students [at Kingston University] demonstrating the exercises. It is followed by a selection of found texts and images that go some way to explaining the beliefs and history of Mazdaznan"--Back cover.
