Everyone has its own rules

The art of Paul Klee makes the creation visible but doesn’t explain it.

Klee brings pedagogy and poetry to a common denominator.

Klee’s art is a poem which doesn’t rely on our vision.

Klee widens our imagination and transforms what we already know.

Klee’s line is like a fiddlestick, his colour the coloratura. Here, the painting becomes music.

Klee possesses one eye which sees and on eye which feels. From this double view he develops exact cheerfulness and spontaneous science.

Klee has transmitted a fascinating science of forms. He was his own content to his teachings and is a special class in the Creaviva.
