Paul Klee and His Illness

By H. Suter

Fascinated by Klee and his artistic achievement, the dermatologist and venereologist Dr. Hans Suter has done extensive research into the rare illness which affected the artist since 1935, and the effects of this condition on Klee's later work. He finally helped to define Klee's disease as diffuse systemic sclerosis' which affects skin and internal organs. In "Paul Klee and His Illness," Dr. Hans Suter has summarized his findings on this rare and complex disease in a clear and comprehensible way and empathetically interprets more than 90 of Klee's late works. The book has been beautifully edited and contains a large number of colour illustrations of Klee's original works as well as medical images documenting the aspects of his illness reproduced according to highest standards.
