Did you know?
Paul Klee often equated the process of painting with the act of playing music, famously noting that he saw no distinction between the two. In this work, the abstract linear forms and dot-like markings resemble a musical score or notation, suggesting that Klee was 'composing' visual rhythms on the canvas.
