Though typically small in scale, his works are remarkable for their sophisticated thought and meticulous nuances of line, color, and tonality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Klee's stylistic formation was shaped by early affiliation with the German expressionist group \u003cstrong\u003eDer Blaue Reiter\u003c\/strong\u003e and, in particular, by a 1914 trip to Tunisia which transformed his use of color. After the war, he taught at the esteemed \u003cstrong\u003eBauhaus \u003c\/strong\u003eschool, where his lectures, like his emerging practice, emphasized the \u003cstrong\u003esymbolic potential of shade, line, and geometry. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Klee was also inspired by \u003cstrong\u003eCubism, poetry, music, literature, language, \u003c\/strong\u003e and the simplistic power of \u003cstrong\u003echildren's art. \u003c\/strong\u003eFamed for his simple stick figures, he often combined the appearance of untutored naïveté with rigorous composition and intellectual significance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book provides a selection of key Klee works to introduce his style and influence. From sun-drenched landscapes to enigmatic wordplay, discover a world at once simplistic, symbolic, and dazzlingly colorful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45300040892567,"sku":"9783836501101","price":1362.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783836501101.webp?v=1769286348","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/klee-9783836501101","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
