Paul Klee (Temporis Collection) Details
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, he attempted to capture the organic and harmonic nature of painting by alluding to other artistic mediums 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.
Reviews
Beautiful text! I note another reviewer's worry about a few missing pieces, but Klee produced so many paintings that this is inevitable in any text. I make up for this by buying several books on Klee (I have 6). One of the real strengths of this book is the detailed information on each reproduction. The author lists the dimensions, media and methods (gluing paper onto board, cloth on to board, etc). The addition of Klee's writing greatly informs what we are looking at. The color reproductions are excellent and the size format of the book works very well, particularly given the small size of many of Klee's originals.A very fine purchase that will give pleasure for years.
