Paul Klee

<p>Paul Klee (1879-1940) was a Swiss-German artist known for his arresting use of color and innovative compositions. Paul Klee&#39;s wall art allows you to invite these joyous pieces into your home and transform your space.<p> <p class="title-3">Characteristics of Paul Klee wall art</p> <p>Paul Klee was one of the most innovative early to mid-20th-century artists. Drawing from a range of influences, including Surrealism, Cubism, and Expressionism, along with Moroccan art sensibilities, he produced some of the most exciting works of his time. The result was a beguiling mix of shapes and colors veering toward abstraction.<p> <p>Paul Klee was an incredible draftsman. However, his use of color is what makes his work stand out. He experimented with color theory during his career and used a mix of hues to achieve incredible contrasts and combinations. Highly expressive and often deeply symbolic, his work retains an otherworldly beauty and fascination.<p> <p>While Klee used geometric forms, his work is still playful and vibrant. Nature was a significant subject matter in his early works, though he drifted into abstraction in his latter career. He was heavily influenced by music, and his work represents an attempt to bring the rhythm and harmony of sounds to the canvas.<p> <p>With a mix of techniques, including oil, watercolor, and mixed media, Klee&#39;s work exhibits a variety of textures. When combined with the playful and dreamlike qualities and use of symbolism, Paul Klee&#39;s art still feels fresh, bright, and deeply original.<p> <p class="title-3">How to choose Paul Klee art for your space?</p> <p>Paul Klee wall art is at home in many different spaces. His work suits modernist and minimalist environments due to the bold use of colors and innovative shapes. Experimentation and deep symbolism sit at the heart of his pieces, making his work suitable for creative spaces and homeowners with a taste for the avant-garde.<p> <p>Of course, we can&#39;t talk about Klee&#39;s wall art without considering color. He was a master at finding unconventional hues and tones. Many of his best-known pieces are a harmonious mix of colors that require careful placement. However, some consideration of your existing decor and accents will help the pieces fit. For example, if you have a busy color scheme, you can select one of Klee&#39;s more monochromatic works or vice versa.<p> <p>Explore our beautiful collection of Paul Klee wall art to find the piece that speaks to your sensibilities. From surreal and otherworldly forms to incredible geometric compositions with stunning and bold hues, Klee&#39;s art offers a mesmeric and unique form of expression for your home.<p>

<p>Klee loved the tales of the German poet and writer E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822), who was nicknamed Ghost Hoffmann in his own country. Tale a la Hoffmann appears to be loosely based on the poet's best-known lyrical tale, The Golden Pot (1814), a magical story that switches back and forth between high fantasy and everyday life in Dresden. It recounts the trials of the pure and foolish young Anselmus and his efforts to gain entry to Atlantis, the heaven of poetry. The tree from which Anselmus first heard fateful voices speaking to him might thus be on the left. The odd, tubelike construction on the right perhaps represents the glass bottle in which Anselmus found himself briefly imprisoned. The tale's repeated references to time are reflected in the two clocks, and the vessel in the center may stand for the golden pot with the fantastic lily that gives the story its name.</p>
