Produktbeschreibung
An emblematic figure of the early 20th century, Paul Klee participated in the expansive avant-garde movements in Germany and Switzerland. From the vibrant Blaue Reiter movement to Surrealism at the end of the 1930s and throughout his teaching years at the Bauhaus, Klee attempted to capture the organic and harmonic nature of painting by alluding to other artistic mediums such as poetry, literature, and, above all, music. Whilst he collaborated with artists like August Macke and Alexej von Jawlensky, his most famous partnership was with abstract Expressionist, Wassily Kandinsky. This monograph invites the reader to discover the artistic career of this irreplaceable "painter-poet" through a collection of his most important pieces.
Autorenporträt
Paul Klee (1879-1940) was one of the outstanding personalities of 20th century art history. Along with the Blauer Reiter group, Klee also got to know Wassily Kandinsky, with whom he shared not only artistic ambitions but also a deep friendship. After each of them was invited to teach at the Bauhaus in 1920, Klee became a professor at the Düsseldorf Academy in 1931. Condemned as a "Degenerate Artist", Klee fled to Switzerland, where he died in 1940. In addition to his works of art, Paul Klee left behind diaries and distinguished writings concerning art theories.
