PAUL KLEE

Diana, who works for Artsy, wrote and asked that a link be provided to her Paul Klee page. It seems that she ran across my earlier post about Klee, and thinks that anyone interested in Klee might find further interest at her page. Diana writes:

We strive to make all of the world’s art accessible to anyone online. Our Paul Klee page, for example, provides visitors with Klee’s bio, over 30 of his works, exclusive articles, as well as up-to-date Klee exhibition listings. The page even includes related artist & category tags, plus suggested contemporary artists, allowing viewers to continue exploring art beyond our Klee page.

I was thinking about Klee lately. Sometimes when you do a drawing, the subtle sources that you end up quoting are automatic. And after I did the above drawing, which was based on Spanish greenhouses, I thought, humm, this certainly smells a bit like Paul Klee.

So with this confluence of Kleeistic sources and content, I though I would remind everyone that he was an early Transparent thinker.  While not every Klee work is three dimensionally transparent, when he does focus on three dimensional shapes, they generally are transparent.  So click to her page and the scroll down the art works;  the transparent ones will jump out at you.
