‘Art does not reflect what is seen, rather it makes the hidden visible.’
Born in 1879, Paul Klee was a Swiss-born German artist whose fine lines are credited with ‘shaping’ the influence of cubism, impressionism and surrealism in modern art through the early and mid-20th century, until his death in 1940. Some of his most famous works include the Paul Klee ‘Red Balloon’ print and ‘Fish Magic.’
Quoted as believing art should always be inspired by nature and depicting movement, his whimsical compositions and imaginative take on the world reflected a society grappling with rapid technological change: a theme that resonates just as strongly today.
It’s in the Paul Klee ‘Senecio’ print and Paul Klee ‘Castle and Sun’ print that we really see the artist's signature style revealed. Both use geometric rectangles and triangles to compose their subject matter in striking ways, whilst uncovering distinct separations that provoke the observer to wonder why.
Straying from his signature harsh lines, the Paul Klee Twittering Machine print from 1922 is a subtle watercolour, decoded by scholars as a mechanical contraption that uses birdsong as its lure. Now over a century old, this masterpiece in surrealism shows an early questioning of humanity’s relationship with machinery, and is a perfect example of why Paul Klee abstract art still retains value and interest in today’s art landscape and fits seamlessly into modern Australian homes.
