Product Description
Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of the most significant and best-loved artists of the twentieth century. For the nine volumes of this landmark project, the Berne-based Paul Klee Foundation has researched the artist's 9,600 drawings, prints, watercolors, and oil paintings, allowing the artist's complete works to be assembled and published for the first time. Each volume contains an introduction in German and English, an explanation of the catalogue system, a German-English glossary, a bibliography, and indexes. All the entries are illustrated and include catalogue numbers, technical descriptions, measurements, references to related works, details of provenance and location, relevant literature, and a list of exhibitions and auctions in which works have appeared. Klee's own entries from the catalogue he maintained from 1911 onwards are also included, and the most important works are illustrated in color. From 1923 to 1926, Klee was active as a professor at the Bauhaus, first in Weimar and then in Dessau. Volume 4 includes striking examples of new color harmonies in works inspired by the artist's visits to La Coruna (1923) and Italy and Sicily (1926). Over 1000 illustrations, 100 in color. ...

a brief survey of a master of painting
"Colour possesses me... That is the meaning of this happy hour: colour and I are one. I am a painter." --Paul Klee

This book contains 48 full-color plates. They are of high quality and full page (I'm not sure the exact dimensions of the book, but it is quite large). I'm not sure how I feel about Klee's work as a whole, since there isn't a large enough sample contained here, but the paintings contained in this book are amazing, or most of them are at least. Klee was truly an astounding artist. That, though, brings up my only fault with the book, it is such a brief book that you don't get enough of Klee's work. Hopefully there are other surveys of his work out there, one that is more complete. And if not, I hope that one soon will be, from what I've seen here, he certainly deserves one.

The book starts with a medium length essay by Douglas Hall, who I understand to be one of the world's leading experts on Klee. It's not as inclusive as a book-length biography, but Hall definitely gives you a fair sense of Klee's life and a good idea of how to look at Klee's work. He goes in depth on several of the paintings represented within.

I believe this book is out of print so you will have to go to your local library and check out a copy, but it is worth doing so, so that you can get an introduction to one of our more important artists. ... Read more
