Paul Klee a Swiss-born painter, printmaker and draughtsman of German nationality, was originally associated with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, and subsequently taught at the Bauhaus, the widely influential German art school of the interwar period. Klee's diverse body of work cannot, however, be categorized according to any single artistic movement, or "school." His paintings, which are at times fantastic, childlike, or otherwise witty, served as an inspiration to artists of the 20th century. Klee was fundamentally a transcendentalist who believed that the material world was only one among many realities open to human awareness. Klee was a musician for most of his life, often practicing the violin as a warm-up for painting. He naturally saw analogies between music and visual art. He even compared the visual rhythm in drawings to the structural, percussive rhythms of a musical composition. Klee challenged traditional boundaries separating writing and visual art by exploring a new expressive, and largely abstract or poetic language of pictorial symbols and signs. Klee greatly admired the art of children, who seemed to create free of models or previous examples. In his own work he often strove to achieve a similar untutored simplicity, often by employing intense colors inspired by an early trip to North Africa, and by line drawing in the unstudied manner of an everyday craftsman.

The critic Herbert Read described these books as “the most complete presentation of the principles of design ever made by a modern artist – it constitutes the Principia Aesthetica of a new era of art, in which Klee occupies a position comparable to Newton’s in the realm of physics.” “Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.” “The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.” “Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it!” Hammamet with Its Mosque Expressionism (Der Blaue Reiter) & Bauhaus Art 1914 Watercolor and graphite on paper mounted on cardboard 9 X 9” Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY From his inspired trip to Tunisia where he said he discovered color or color discovered him.

  • The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937
    “First Surrealists Were Cavemen”: The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937 Elke Seibert How electrifying it must be to discover a world of new, hitherto unseen pictures! Schol- ars and artists have described their awe at encountering the extraordinary paintings of Altamira and Lascaux in rich prose, instilling in us the desire to hunt for other such discoveries.1 But how does art affect art and how does one work of art influence another? In the following, I will argue for a causal relationship between the 1937 exhibition Prehis- toric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa shown at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the new artistic directions evident in the work of certain New York artists immediately thereafter.2 The title for one review of this exhibition, “First Surrealists Were Cavemen,” expressed the unsettling, alien, mysterious, and provocative quality of these prehistoric paintings waiting to be discovered by American audiences (fig. ).1 3 The title moreover illustrates the extent to which American art criticism continued to misunderstand sur- realist artists and used the term surrealism in a pejorative manner. This essay traces how the group known as the American Abstract Artists (AAA) appropriated prehistoric paintings in the late 1930s. The term employed in the discourse on archaic artists and artistic concepts prior to 1937 was primitivism, a term due not least to John Graham’s System and Dialectics of Art as well as his influential essay “Primitive Art and Picasso,” both published in 1937.4 Within this discourse the art of the Ice Age was conspicuous not only on account of the previously unimagined timespan it traversed but also because of the magical discovery of incipient human creativity.

  • Paul Klee First, Let’S Learn to Say His Name: Klee Is Pronounced Similar to the Word Clay
    Name _____________________________________ Homeroom Teacher _________________________ Behind the Masterpieces A look at the life and work of the artists behind famous artworks Paul Klee First, let’s learn to say his name: Klee is pronounced similar to the word clay. Try it a few times! Senecio, 1922 Red Bridge, 1928 Castle and Sun, 1928 Becoming an artist Paul Klee was born in Switzerland in 1879. Both of his parents were musicians and he loved music so much he thought he might become a musician too. He learned to play the violin but after creating drawings with sidewalk chalk his grandmother gave him he realized he liked drawing even more and decided to study art to become an artist! When Paul Klee first created art he didn’t use any color because he thought his art didn’t need it. Eventually he discovered how wonderful color was and started creating beautiful, colorful, paintings. Art Movement and Style: Taking a closer look h Take a minute and look at the three artworks above painted by Paul Klee. Paul Klee made many artworks where his subject matter (what he painted) was made out of geometric shapes. The subject in the first painting is a portrait (picture of a person). The last painting has a castle as the subject. Take a close look at the painting in the middle. Besides a bridge what do you think the subject is in the middle painting? __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ These paintings of Paul Klee’s are known as cubism. We’ve already studied another artist who created cubist artwork using mostly squares and rectangles.

  • Paul Klee, L’Œil D’Orient « La Couleur Me Possède
    PAUL KLEE, L’ŒiL d’ORIENT « La couleur me possède. Je n’ai pas besoin de la saisir au vol. Elle me pos- sède pour toujours et je le sais. Telle est la minute du bonheur. La couleur et moi sommes une seule et même chose. Je suis peintre. » C’est en ces termes que Klee énonce à Kairouan le cogito du peintre et de la peinture. Une expé- rience décisive, qui ne cessera de l’ins- pirer. Aussi, je voudrais m’interroger sur cette question et cette nécessité créatrice : Qu’est-ce qu’avoir l’Orient en soi-même ? Un mythe, une ombre, une musique, une énergie créatrice ? Et quel Orient ? PAR CHRISTINE BUCI-GLUCKSMANN Paul Klee. L’ironie à l’œuvre. Centre Pompidou, Paris Du 6 avril au 1er août 2016.

J’en reste du visible et le donner à voir. Passer d’un tributaire. Cette musique là ne saurait être cosmos désordonné à un cosmos rythmé et altérée. » Et elle ne le fut pas.
