Paul Klee Paintings

Paul Klee (Dec18, 1879 - Jun29, 1940) was a Swiss painter of German nationality. He was influenced by many different art styles in his work, including cubism, surrealism and expressionism. He was a student of orientalism. Paul Klee and his friend, the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, were also famous for teaching at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture.

Throughout his career, Paul Klee used colour in a variety of unique and diverse means, in a relationship that has progressed and evolved in a variety of ways. For an artist that loved so much of the natural world, it seems rather odd that Klee originally despised color, believing that it was in itself, little more than a decoration to a work.
Eventually, Klee would learn to manipulate color with great skill and passion coming to teach lessons on colour mixing and color theory to students at the Bauhaus. This progression in itself is of great interest because his views on colour would ultimately allow him to write about it from a unique viewpoint among his contemporaries.
