A
Swiss-born painter and graphic artist who's work blended primitive
art, surrealism, cubism, and children's art together. He was
known for small-scale, delicate paintings, watercolors, and
drawings.
"Like Kandinsky, Klee valued
the 'primitive', and especially the art of children. He envied
their polymorphous freedom to create signs, and respected their
innocence and directness." (Robert Hughes,
from "Shock of the New.") |
