Paul Klee

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.03 sec.
Klee, Paul 

Born Dec. 18, 1879, in Münchenbuchsee, near Bern; died July 29, 1940, in Muralto, near Locarno. Swiss painter and graphic artist.

From 1898 to 1901, Klee studied under F. Stuck at the Academy of Arts in Munich. From 1906 to 1920 he lived in Munich, where he became a member of the Blaue Reiter. Klee was a professor at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau from 1921 to 1930 and at the Düsseldorf Academy of Arts from 1931 to 1933. Forced to leave the academy by the fascists, he returned to Bern.

Klee was a leading proponent of expressionism. His art tended toward the abstract and the fantastic and was highly individualistic. Klee was attracted to the musicality of color combinations, the naïveté of children’s drawings, and the alleged mystery of certain pictorial motifs and symbols.
