Back in print, the most authoritative overview on the beloved
Bauhaus Renaissance man and pioneer of abstraction, the first
artist to take a line for a walk The many books on Paul Klee
(1879-1940) published over the years should not obscure the fact
that there has been no new, comprehensive Klee overview since Will
Grohmann's oft-reprinted 1954 monograph. With Paul Klee: Life and
Work, the Zentrum Paul Klee has set out to fill this gap, drawing
on a wealth of new resources including the Klee family's archives,
much of which is published here for the first time. Life and work
are truly integrated in this massive, 344-page volume: Klee's vast
body of work is surveyed chronologically, as the book narrates his
life alongside the abundant reproductions of drawings, paintings,
watercolors, sculptures, puppets and numerous archival documents
and photographs (nearly 500 reproductions in total). The book
divides Klee's career into eight periods: "Childhood and Youth";
"Munich and the Encounter with the Avant Garde"; "World War I and
the Breakthrough to Success"; "At the Bauhaus in Weimar"; "Master
of Modern Art"; "The Move to Dusseldorf and the Nazi Rise to
Power"; "First Years of Emigration in Bern"; and "Final Years." The
result of many years of research and labor, this magisterial
publication demonstrates conclusively why Klee numbers among the
most influential and best-loved artists of the past 100 years.
