Paul Klee by Eric Shanes
Requirements: PDF Reader, 80mb
Overview: An emblematic figure of the early 20th century, Paul Klee participated in the expansive avant-garde movements in Germany and Switzerland. From the vibrant Blaue Reiter movement to Surrealism at the end of the 1930s and throughout his teaching years at the Bauhaus, he attempted to capture the organic and harmonic nature of painting by alluding to other artistic mediums such as poetry, literature, and above all music. While he collaborated with artists like August Macke and Alexej von Jawlensky, his most famous partnership was with the Abstract Expressionist, Wassily Kandinsky.
This monograph by the author Eric Shanes, who has also written about Andy Warhol and Constantin Brancusi, invites the reader to discover the artistic career of this irreplaceable “painter-poet” through a collection of his most important pieces.
One of the real strengths of this book is the detailed information on each reproduction. The author lists the dimensions, media and methods (gluing paper onto board, cloth on to board, etc). The addition of Klee’s writing greatly informs what we are looking at. The color reproductions are excellent and the size format of the book works very well, particularly given the small size of many of Klee’s originals.
