About the author
Paul Klee
335 books96 followersPaul Klee was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, and is considered both a Swiss painter and a German painter. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was, as well, a student of orientalism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered color theory, and wrote extensively about it; his lectures Writings on Form and Design Theory (Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre), published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are considered so important for modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo da Vinci's A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance. He and his colleague , the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the German Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture. His works reflect his dry humour and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.

was kunst angeht: ich schaue sie mir bewundernd an, habe aber nicht besonders viel ahnung. aber diese querschau über das spätwerk paul klees vermittelt einen guten eindruck über die bandbreite seines künstlerischen schaffens. zudem enthält es zu ausgewählten werken kurzinterpretationen sowie einen lesenswerten einleitenden essay, der leben und werk des künstlers verortet.
