The Great Artists: Paul Klee

By Susie Hodge

Paul Klee's lifelong engagement with the possibilities of colour and abstraction made him a key figure in the development of modernism. Influenced by Cubism, Expressionism and Surrealism, Klee's own work was varied and experimental. After joining the German group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), Klee fought in the First World War before emerging as one of the leading artists in Germany. He taught at the world-famous Bauhaus school of art for 10 years, before Nazi rule forced its closure. This book charts Klee's development as an artist and investigates the themes that preoccupied him, as well as recounting a remarkable life lived in the shadow of war and oppression.
