Paul Klee: 1939

In 1939, the year before his death, Paul Klee created some of his most surprising and innovative works during a challenging yet prolific period. Despite illness and the outbreak of World War II, Klee worked with remarkable creativity, producing art that was political, playful, solemn, and poetic. His experimentation with materials like adhesive, oil, and watercolor led to visually and tactilely striking pieces. This book explores Klee's response to personal and global turmoil, highlighting the influence of his late works on postwar artists like Anni Albers and Jean Dubuffet. Art historian Dawn Ades and artist Richard Tuttle provide insightful reflections on this pivotal period.
