Description: "Swiss-born artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) created some of the most innovative works of the twentieth century - in media as varied as oil paint, watercolour, etching, pencil, ink, and pastel. Uniquely among his contemporaries, he combined the machine aesthetic of modernism with lyrical, organic elements, arriving at a visual language entirely his own. Although he moved freely between media and from figuration to abstraction, Klee's works remain instantly recognisable, often characterised by a playfulness and wit that can sharpen to biting satire on occasion." -- Back cover.
