Description

Fabtafel is a significant representation artist Paul Klee’s body of work.


Born in Switzerland 1879, is considered both a Swiss and a German painter. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was, as well, a student of orientalism.  Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered color theory, and wrote extensively about it; his notebooks are considered so important for modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo da Vinci’s A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance. He and his colleague, the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the German Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture. His works reflect his dry humour and his sometimes childlike perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.
