About the Item

Original Limited Edition Etching on vellum paper. Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered. Edition: 2,000. Good condition. Notes: From the folio, Prints of Paul Klee, 1947. Published by the Museum of Modern Art, New York; printed by Meriden Gravure Company, Meriden, Connecticut, and The Golden Eagle Press, Mount Vernon, New York. PAUL KLEE (1879-1940) was a Swiss-born German artist. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually deeply explored color theory, writing about it extensively; his lectures Writings on Form and Design Theory (Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre), published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are held to be as important for modern art as Leonardo da Vinci's A Treatise on Painting was for the Renaissance. He and his colleague, Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture in Germany. His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality. Klee was in the milieu of Picasso.
