Description
Paul Klee: Bauhaus Master presents a comprehensive and elegant exploration of the artist's work. This landmark publication brings together 137 works, including paintings, watercolors, and drawings, alongside nearly 100 handwritten notes from Klee's classes at the Bauhaus. The book contextualizes Klee's art and pedagogy, demonstrating the unity of his hand and mind as he tested both his materials and image-making practices. A selection of archival objects and documents, including photographs, herbaria, sketchbooks, and publications, provides a unique insight into Klee's creative process. Born in Switzerland in 1879, Paul Klee was born into an artistic family and studied at Munich's Academy of Fine Arts before participating in several exhibitions between 1911 and 1913. His career took off after a trip to Tunis with August Macke and Louis Moillet in 1914, leading him to become one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
