Paul Klee (1879-1940) was an extraordinary draftsman, printmaker,
teacher and theoretician with a singular style whose work greatly
impacted the development of twentieth-century art. Klee's prints
demonstrate, more fully than his works in any other medium, his
remarkable evolution from a traditionalist to one of the most
daring innovators of modern art. This limited-edition facsimile of
"The Prints of Paul Klee," originally published by The Museum of
Modern Art, New York in 1947, presents 40 of Klee's etchings and
lithographs from MoMA's collection, ranging in date from 1903 to
1931 and each printed on a separate sheet of stiff card, eight of
which are in color. Accompanied by a 40-page booklet featuring an
essay by James Thrall Soby (then Chairman of the museum's
Department of Painting and Sculpture), and a new text by Christophe
Cherix, MoMA's Chief Curator of Prints and Illustrated Books, the
prints are encased in a cloth-covered and ribbon-bound box. This
unique and luxurious portfolio is being reissued for the first time
since its original publication, and is available in a limited
edition of 2,000 numbered copies.
