Paul Klee: the master of abstract painting between Bauhaus and surrealism

Paul Klee was a Swiss-German painter among the most influential of the 20th century, known for his unmistakable style that blends abstraction, symbolism, and irony. An artist and theorist of the Bauhaus, Klee freely and rigorously explored the language of color, form, and sign, anticipating many aspects of contemporary art. His works, often inspired by the world of childhood, music, and philosophy, are now exhibited in major museums around the world, from the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern to the MoMA in New York. A key figure in modern art, Paul Klee continues to influence artists, designers, and scholars.
