Come and learn about the German/Swiss artist Paul Klee and his journey from musician to artist. Paul Klee paintings are key elements in the rise of modern art and included several different styles from the new 20th century art movements which Paul Klee helped to develop.
“His subjects reveal his impish humor, his bent toward the fantastic, and the meditative.” His work is musical and lyrical! Paul Klee paintings have been classified within several different related movements including expressionism, cubism, and surrealism.
Please join us in February to learn more about Paul Klee and the modern art style that he developed as he changed the face of the art world in the 20th and 21st century!
