Paul Klee and the Essence

Six paintings. One concept

We could make this publication thanks to small donations. How is 3 minutos de arte supported?

 

Before he learned to paint, Klee learned to play the violin. And at an important point of his career, he painted alongside the Expressionists who were moving towards abstraction, and who related composing with color to composing music (the rather "lyrical" Expressionists of The Blue Rider, such as Kandinsky, Franz Marc or August Macke).

His works are surprisingly elementary (you may think they are almost "childish", primitive). He searched for the origin and the essence with his color harmonies and abstraction. Because, as he said, “Art does not to reproduce the visible, but makes visible."
