About Paul Klee

A journey to Tunisia in 1914 is often named as the moment colour took hold of Klee, and at the Bauhaus he taught the theory of form he had worked out in his own pictures. Many of his works are small, built from watercolour washes, grids of coloured squares and a wandering line, often mounted on card with the title written beneath.

“Ghost of a Genius” uses his oil-transfer technique: a drawing traced through a sheet coated with black paint leaves a soft, uneven line. “Temple Gardens” and “The Rose Garden” stack buildings and plants into strips of colour; a village at night is set in teal and indigo. All twelve works are reproduced as giclée prints with pigment inks, made to order in Berlin, on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, A4 to A0.
