Paul Klee: Selected by Genius

Paul Klee: Selected by Genius by Doschka, Roland. paperback edition. ISBN: 9783791338835.

As an avant-garde artist of the twentieth century, painter Paul Klees work defies classification. What is indisputable, however, is its originality and brilliance. Taken from the artists most prolific years, 1917-1933, this book presents works that Klee never intended to sell. More than 100 colour plates reveal Klees chromatic genius and wide stylistic range. Along with an indepth biography, the book features three essays, which examine Klees versatility, place him in context with his contemporaries, and discuss his process for cataloguing his works. The result is a unique and far-reaching exploration of one of the twentieth centurys most important and admired artists, at the most fecund stage of his career.
