Paul Klee. Painting the music

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.
