Did you know?
Paul Klee's 1938 works were created during a period of significant personal and political upheaval, as he fled Nazi Germany for Switzerland. Despite the turmoil, his work maintained a whimsical, childlike clarity, often described as 'taking a line for a walk.' His unique synthesis of color theory and childlike simplicity continues to influence abstract art to this day.
