Paul Klee
Paul Klee, born on December 18, 1879 in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, was an artist whose style is difficult to pigeonhole. He was a painter, draftsman, and art theorist, and his works include influences from expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. Klee was a master of color and form who knew how to bring his inner world to canvas in a way that was both profound and playful. He received his art training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he became friends with Wassily Kandinsky and later became a member of the artist group Der Blaue Reiter.
After his service in World War I, which left a deep impression on him, Klee developed a unique style that reflected his personal experiences and his view of the world. He became a teacher at the Bauhaus, the famous German art school, where he further developed his theories on color and form. Despite his Swiss origins, Klee's art was considered "degenerate" by the Nazis, and he was forced to leave Germany in 1933. He returned to Switzerland, where he lived and worked in Muralto until his death on June 29, 1940.
Interesting fact:
Paul Klee was a passionate musician who often said that music had a profound effect on his art. He played several instruments, including violin, and viewed music as a parallel world to painting. This musical passion is reflected in many of his works, in which he attempted to visually represent musical principles and rhythms.
