Synopsis
Swiss-born artist Paul Klee (1879 - 1940) created some of the most innovative and best-loved works of the twentieth century, in media including etching, drawing, ink, pastel, oil paint and watercolour. Uniquely among his contemporaries, he combined the machine aesthetic of modernism with lyrical, organic elements, arriving at a visual language entirely his own. After his training in Munich, in 1911 he became involved with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), founded by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. Klee and Kandinsky became lifelong friends, and the support of the older painter provided much-needed encouragement. His work was also influenced by the Cubism of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, and the abstract translucent colour planes of Robert Delaunay. Although he moved freely between media and from figuration to abstraction, Klee's works remain instantly recognisable, often characterised by a playfulness and wit that can sharpen to biting satire on occasion. Accompanying a major retrospective exhibition at Tate Modern, this book surveys Klee's entire career, particularly his role as recordkeeper of his work and the way this influenced the way his work was then exhibited. Featuring his best-known paintings reproduced in their full colourful complexity, the book focuses on Klee's major exhibitions during his lifetime, with essays by leading authorities from the US, the UK, and Switzerland placing his output in the context of the period in which he lived, revealing an anxious artist who, despite his quirky lyricism, was troubled by the challenges of the modern world.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. New book Published to accompany a major UK exhibition of Klee's body of works. Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of the most famous of the generation of twentieth-century painters who shaped the way in which we see the world. As he declared: 'Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.' Using vibrant colour and intuitive line, Klee combined witty narratives in his work alongside breathtaking abstraction. He taught at the Bauhaus for a decade and was hailed as a 'liberator' by the surrealists in Paris. This book surveys his career to show how his extraordinary versatility reached and entranced his public. He was able to reconcile within his work the modernist contradiction between the abstract and the fantastic, the machine aesthetic of the Bauhaus and the free imagination. The most famous of his teaching texts, Pedagogical Sketchbook, revealed the wit and rigour with which he guided his students and which inspired further generations of artists. After unrivalled successes in the 1920s, Klee was among those singled out for repression in Nazi Germany. He returned to his family in Switzerland in 1933 and, though in declining health, was defiantly productive until his premature death in 1940. Drawing on recent scholarship, with essays by a selection of international authorities, this lavishly illustrated book accompanies the first major Klee exhibition in Britain for a decade, and throws new light on the life and career of one of the greatest artists of the Twentieth Century.
