Paul Klee by Hajo Duchting

Now available in flexi-cover, this fascinating work examines the relationship between music and painting in Paul Klee's art. A talented violinist as well as a painter, Klee drew much of the inspiration for his abstract art from musical rhythms and structures. Like a composer, he developed and harmonized pictorial themes, weaving a complex series of signs and symbols into his painting. The book focuses on Klee's decadelong tenure at the Bauhaus, where the artist's theories and practices first merged. Illustrated throughout with full-color reproductions of Klee's paintings and etchings, as well as entries from his diaries, this unique study sheds light on an important aspect of Klee's work while providing insights into his development as an abstract artist.

Hajo Düchting is a 20th-century artist, art historian, and author of various books on the subject. Markus Müller is the director of the Pablo Picasso Kunstmuseum in Münster. Klaus Fußmann is a modern German artist whose work has received the Villa Romana Prize and the Darmstadt Art Award.
