Paul Klee Watercolor on Paper 9 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. (23.5 x 31.1 cm) Collection SFMOMA, gift of Charlotte Mack From his earliest childhood Swiss-born German artist Paul Klee (1879 - 1940) expressed a profound interest in the natural world. A youthful fascination with a range of species such as insects, snails, cats and flowers grew to become the basis of the mature artist's visual vocabulary. Although he was particularly drawn to more humble creatures and plants, Klee learned to distill even complex organisms, including human beings, to their most fundamental aspects. By revealing the most elemental characteristics and mechanisms of the life forms he examines, Klee demonstrates each living thing's uniqueness and facilitates our understanding of the ultimate similarities between diverse species.

Definition: The painter Paul Klee (18791940) was born near Berne in Switzerland. His early works were monochromatic , in black and white. His contact with Expressionist artists such as Kandinsky , and a visit to Tunis, led him into color. He believed improvisation was an important part of painting, with the artist subconsciously guiding a work as it evolved, rather than consciously controlling it. His paintings are characterized by line and color, with an element of humor and fantasy. Quote: "The work of art ... is above all a process of creation, it is never experienced as mere product. A certain fire, an impulse to create, is kindled, is transmitted through the hand, leaps to the canvas, and in the form of a spark leaps back to its starting place, completing the circle back to the eye and further (back to the source of the movement, the will, the idea)."

View Map Read More Zentrum Paul Klee The Zentrum Paul Klee museum is dedicated to the life and works of artist Paul Klee (1879 - 1940). The museum is situated in Bern and features approximately 40 percent of Klee's entire pictorial works. The majority of Klee's works were donated by Livia Klee-Meyer, his daughter-in-law. Livia inherited nearly 690 of Klee's works. She then donated them to the city of Bern in the summer of 1997. Livia's donation topped with additional works and documents loaned by the Paul Kleeson Foundation and his family produced 200 more items from the artist. To accommodate the large collection and make way for a cultural centre for Bern, the decision to build a museum on the eastern outskirts of the city was made. Famous Italian architect Renzo Piano was contacted in 1998 to design the new facility. A preliminary project was elaborated in 200 and the building was finally completed in 2005. On June 20th, 2005, the Zentrum Paul Klee opened its doors and welcomed visitors for the first time. Personally, Klee was not only an artist, but a musician, poet, and teacher as well. He is now known as one of the 20th Century's most significant and compelling artists. Klee spent a majority of his years in Bern.
