Paul Klee -The giant of twentieth-century art and one of the greatest creative innovators of all time.
Witty, inventive, magical and exquisite. Paul Klee's paintings resist easy classification. He is mentioned in the same breath as Matisse, Picasso and his Bauhaus contemporary Kandinsky. He cuts a radical figure in European modernism. His influence on abstraction can be seen in the works of Rothko, Miró and beyond. And yet, for an artist of such stature, there is still so much to discover about him. This is the perfect way to understand and learn about the magician of colour!
This show alows us to rediscover Klee’s extraordinary body of work and see it in a new light. Paintings, drawings and watercolours from collections around the world are reunited and displayed alongside each other as the artist originally intended, often for the first time since Klee exhibited them himself. The colour and forms are pleasing to the eye, we leave with happy hearts!
