Title: Klee/Aguéli
Description: In 1914, Paul Klee went to Tunisia and discovered that he was a painter. The same year, Ivan Aguéli embarked on his third sojourn in Egypt, the country that shaped his ideas about life and art. A painter, anarchist, Sufi and traveller, Aguéli's life story is a novel in itself. Klee and Aguéli never met, but they are presented together here, in an exhibition about the two artists and their relationship to the fundaments of visual art: the choice of subject matter, the creative act, and the qualities of the image. Exhibition: Moderna Museet Stockholm, Sweden (16.1 - 24.4 2016).
Subjects: Exhibitions
People: Paul Klee (1879-1940), Ivan Aguéli (1869-1917)
