| PAUL KLEE PAINTINGS |
He is regarded as a major theoretician among modern artists, a master of humour and mystery, and a major contributor to 20th century art.
Klee was born into a family of musicians
and his childhood love of music would remain very important in his life
and work.
Klee’s main concentration on graphic
work changed in 1914 after he spent two weeks in Tunisia with the
painters August Macke and Louis Moilliet. He produced a number of
stunning watercolours and colour became central to his art for the
remainder of his life.
