Description

The best known are The Notebooks of Paul Klee in two volumes ( The Thinking Eye and The Nature of Nature), which bring together his essays on modern art and lectures he gave at the Bauhaus school in the 1920s. I didn't know any of that, but looking at their work side by side, and knowing how much Klee admired Kandinsky, it makes me think about his work differently. The book testifies to Klee's intensive theoretical explorations of art and exemplifies how the Bauhaus masters interconnected the various realms of art and design. Now the country is becoming flatter, the first windmills appear, and there are signs of a large city soon to come (Hanover.

From that period he created Die Zwitscher-Maschine (The Twittering Machine), which was later removed from the National Gallery. Klee was conscripted as a Landsturmsoldat (soldier of the reserve forces in Prussia or Imperial Germany) on 5 March 1916. In 1995 the Greek experimental filmmaker, Kostas Sfikas, created a film based entirely on Paul Klee's paintings. The colored rectangle became his basic building block, what some scholars associate with a musical note, which Klee combined with other colored blocks to create a color harmony analogous to a musical composition.He and his colleague , the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the German Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture. The pieces range in difficulty from intermediate to advanced, making them suitable for pianists of various skill levels. Here, together with recollections of his childhood in Bern, his relations with his family and such friends as Kandinsky, Marc, Macke, and many others, his observations on nature and people, his trips to Italy and Tunisia, and his military service, the reader will find Klee’s crucial experience with literature and music, as well as many of his essential ideas about his own artistic technique and the creative process. Herwarth Walden, Klee's art dealer, saw in them a "Wachablösung" (changing of the guard) of his art. He never rose higher than Pvt First Class although he did responsible administrative work as a paymaster.

A diarist since 1898, Klee recorded this artistic turning point in his notebook; the following entry came as he toured the city of Kairouan, newly “possessed” by colour.Klee's art work progressed slowly for the next five years, partly from having to divide his time with domestic matters, and partly as he tried to find a new approach to his art. Klee's] remarkable development in intimate detail; they have aphrodisiac bite, lean sensuosity, and frequently an indisputable candor. The Spanish composer Benet Casablancas wrote Alter Klang, Impromptu for Orchestra after Klee (2006); [98] [99] Casablancas is author also of the Retablo on texts by Paul Klee, Cantata da Camera for Soprano, Mezzo and Piano (2007). In his legendary Pedagogical Sketchbook, Klee presents his theoretical approach to drawing using geometric shapes and lines. Klee created in 1940 a picture which strongly differs from the previous works, leaving it unsigned on the scaffold.

He and his colleague, Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture in Germany.After finishing the military training course, which began on 11 March 1916, he was committed as a soldier behind the front. Combining art, design, history, and quantitative analysis, transforms data sets into stunning artworks that underscore his positive view of human progress, inspiring us to think about the future with much-needed hope. In 1933, his last year in Germany, he created a range of paintings and drawings; the catalogue raisonné comprised 482 works.
