With meticulous theories and many thousands of paintings, drawings,
and watercolors, Paul Klee (1879-1940) is considered one of the
most cerebral and prolific leaders of 20th-century European art.
Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their
sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, color, and
tonality. Klee's stylistic formation was shaped by early
affiliation with the German expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter
and, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his
use of color. After the war, he taught at the esteemed Bauhaus
school, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized
the symbolic potential of shade, line, and geometry. Klee was also
inspired by Cubism, poetry, music, literature, language, and the
simplistic power of children's art. Famed for his simple stick
figures, he often combined the appearance of untutored naivete with
rigorous composition and intellectual significance. This book
provides a selection of key Klee works to introduce his style and
influence. From sun-drenched landscapes to enigmatic wordplay,
discover a world at once simplistic, symbolic, and dazzlingly
colorful. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic Art Series

published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a
detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the
artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a
