Su questo libro

Informazioni sull'autore

Paul Klee was a Swiss-born artist whose highly individual work moved freely between abstraction and representation. Drawing inspiration from music, nature, poetry, children's art, and the workings of visual perception, he created a remarkably inventive language of signs, lines, colors, and imagined worlds. His teaching and writings at the Bauhaus, as well as his paintings and drawings, made him one of the most influential figures of modern art.
