This book is an irresistible addition to those interested in the art of Paul Klee. An emblematic figure of the early 20th century, Paul Klee participated in 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 art forms such as poetry, literature and, above all, music. While he collaborated with artists like August Macke and Alexej von Jawlensky, his most famous partnership was with the Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky. This book offers a valuable overview of Klees work and, with its convenient format, makes the perfect gift.
