Color Possesses Me: The Art of Paul Klee

Color possesses me. I don’t have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour: Color and I are one. I am a painter.

–Paul Klee

Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.

–Paul Klee

Paul Klee was born in Switzerland in 1879. He was influenced by Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism, three of my favorite artistic movements! I was first exposed to Paul Klee’s work while studying the history of the German Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture.  His colleague at the school, Wassily Kandinsky, the father of Abstract Art, is one of my all time favorite painters.

Klee’s style is sometimes said to relfect his dry humor and his sometimes child-like perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality.
