Paul Klee Sold at Auction Prices

Etcher, Painter, b. 1879 - d. 1940

Born in Switzerland in 1879, artist Paul Klee was a gifted musician to whom, at age 11, the Bern Music Association extended an invitation. His interests turned to art in his teens, and in 1898, he began studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Influenced by his love of music and German Expressionist art, he believed art should express the metaphysical. His 1914 journey to Tunisia proved the catalyst that pushed him toward abstract paintings, with his art emphasizing shapes and color.

Beginning in 1921, artist Paul Klee spent 10 years teaching at the Bauhaus and two years at Dusseldorf. Expressionism art proved his escape from the traumas of World War II, and Paul Klee's artwork is often colorful, vibrant, and thought-provoking. Returning to Switzerland in 1933, he experienced a burst of creativity before his death in 1940. Paul Klee's art for sale is highly respected for its emphasis on the subconscious, mystical, and psychological, and still influences today's artists. Invite lively conversation by adding vibrant vintage abstract paintings to your growing collection.

En 1923, Paul Klee se rend à Baltrum pour se remettre des traumatismes de la Première Guerre mondiale et de la grippe espagnole, cherchant un lieu calme propice à la création. L'isolement de l'île lui permet de se concentrer sur ses recherches artistiques et d'expérimenter de nouvelles formes et couleurs dans un environnement paisible. Cette oeuvre est particulièrement remarquable par sa capacité à fusionner abstraction et figuration. Klee, influencé par ses voyages et la nature, crée une atmosphère poétique en utilisant des formes géométriques simples et des couleurs douces pour représenter l'environnement. La poésie est contenue dans la découverte de relations insoupçonnées entre un élément et un autre . Klee, Paul. Pedagogical Sketchbook. Traduit par L. L. Price, 1953 Ce paysage ne cherche pas seulement à reproduire une scène, mais à évoquer une sensation de sérénité et d'introspection. L'oeuvre reflète l'approche unique de Klee, où l'émotion et la subjectivité priment sur la représentation réaliste, marquant ainsi une avancée vers l'art abstrait tout en restant lié à la nature. Après la Première Guerre mondiale, l'art cherche une nouvelle identité, et Klee, à travers des formes simplifiées et une palette de couleurs subtiles, explore la perception individuelle de la nature. En délaissant la représentation réaliste au profit d'une abstraction poétique, l'oeuvre reflète une quête de calme et de renouvellement dans un monde dévasté, tout en inscrivant Klee parmi les pionniers du Bauhaus.
