Paul Klee
Paul Klee (; 18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was a Swiss-born German artist. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included
expressionism,
cubism, and
surrealism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually deeply explored
color theory, writing about it extensively; his lectures ''Writings on Form and Design Theory'' (''Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre''), published in English as the ''
Paul Klee Notebooks'', are held to be as important for modern art as
Leonardo da Vinci's ''
A Treatise on Painting'' was for the
Renaissance. He and his colleague, Russian painter
Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the
Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture in
Germany. His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.
