Paul Klee was a Swiss-German painter and graphic artist who was one of the leading members of the Expressionist movement. He is known for his highly individual style, which combined elements of Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. His works often feature playful, childlike images and a unique use of color, which he referred to as "taking a line for a walk." He taught at the Bauhaus school in Germany and his works have been hugely influential in the development of modern art.
In his short life, Klee produced more than 9,000 works, including paintings, drawings, and watercolors. Today, he is widely considered to be one of the most important artists of the 20th century and his works are highly valued by art collectors and institutions around the world.
Klee’s love of music serves as inspiration for many of his abstractions. The student artists will both hear and see the connection as they enjoy his fanciful imagination. Using watercolor washes, the young artists enjoy creating their own abstract compositions from their feelings and imaginations.
