A Swiss-German painter and teacher, Paul Klee was a pioneering modernist whose poetic, inventive works defy easy classification. Drawing inspiration from nature, music, and dreams, he developed a highly personal visual language of symbols, color, and rhythm. As a member of the Bauhaus, Klee’s teachings and theories on form and color deeply influenced generations of artists. His whimsical yet profound paintings continue to be celebrated for their imagination, subtlety, and sense of wonder.
