Catalogue Raisonne by Paul Klee & Museum of Fine Arts Paul Klee Foundation
From 1927 to 1930, Klee's teaching at the Bauhaus in Dessau was interspersed with trips abroad: a journey up the Nile to Karnak, Thebes and other ancient Egyptian sites, and visits to the south of France and northern Italy. All of these were valuable sources of visual inspiration.Paul Klee is one of the most significant arists of the 20th century. For the nine volumes of this catalogue raisonne, the Berne-based Paul Klee Foundation has researched the artist's 9,600 drawings, prints, watercolours and oil paintings. Each volume contains an introduction in German and English, and an explanation of the catalogue system. All the entries are illustrated and include catalogue numbers, technical descriptions, measurements, references to related works, details of provenance and location, relevant literature and a list of exhibitions and auctions in which works have appeared. Klee's own entries from the diary that he maintained from 1911 onwards are also included, and the most important works are illustrated in colour. From 1927 to 1930, Klee's teaching at the Bauhaus in Dessau was interspersed with trips abroad. These included a journey up the Nile to see the famous monuments at Luxor, Karnak, Thebes and other ancient Egyptian sites. He also visited the south of France and northern Italy. All of these were valuable sources of visual inspiration. In 1930, to celebrate Klee's 50th birthday, a major exhibition of his work was held in Berlin, followed by another at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. |
