Description

Located in Bern, the museum exhibits about 150 (of 4000 Klee works overall) in a six-month rotation, as it is impossible to show all of his works at once. Klee's simpler and larger designs enabled him to keep up his output in his final years, and in 1939 he created over 1,200 works, a career high for one year. Klee began to introduce a new technique in 1905: scratching on a blackened glass panel with a needle. 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. The German draft made Klee a Private in the Kaiser's Army, and suddenly his observations about life become focused and concrete.

Not only to master life in practice, but to shape it meaningfully within me and to achieve as mature an attitude before it as possible. It encompasses art historical and art technological studies, as well as literary or philosophical texts on the life and work of Paul Klee. Klee was still dividing his time with music, playing the violin in an orchestra and writing concert and theater reviews. His Ad Parnassum (1932) is considered his masterpiece and the best example of his pointillist style; it is also one of his largest, most finely worked paintings.This facsimile edition of Die Fläche, recreates every page of the formative design periodical in full color and at original size, accompanied by essays that contextualize the work, highlighting contributions by pathbreaking women, innovative lettering artists, and key practitioners of the new “surface art,” including Rudolf von Larisch, Alfred Roller, and Wiener Werkstätte founders Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann. From 1886 to 1890, Klee visited primary school and received, at the age of 7, violin classes at the Municipal Music School.

Klee was also a member of Die Blaue Vier (The Blue Four), with Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, and Alexej von Jawlensky; formed in 1923, they lectured and exhibited together in the US in 1925. Actually, the main thing now is not to paint precociously b to be or, at least, to become an individual. One of his last paintings, Death and Fire, features a skull in the center with the German word for death, "Tod", appearing in the face. The comparatively realistic still life, Ohne Titel, later named as Der Todesengel (Angel of Death), depicts flowers, a green pot, sculpture and an angel. The composition "Wie der Klee vierblättrig wurde" (How the clover became four-leaved) was inspired by the watercolor painting Hat Kopf, Hand, Fuss und Herz (1930), Angelus Novus and Hauptweg und Nebenwege.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. His early inclination towards the absurd and the sarcastic was well received by Kubin, who befriended Klee and became one of his first significant collectors. Herwarth Walden, Klee's art dealer, saw in them a "Wachablösung" (changing of the guard) of his art.
