He certainly was. Cheers

At a museum display of Klee's work, I had the closest thing to Stendhal syndrome I'll probably ever experience. What's wild was how tiny the canvases were: it didn't matter. They might as well have been the gigantic El Greco I saw in Chicago that made me tremble. 😂✨💖 My Mom said I reacted to art from infancy. Sometimes I have to cover my eyes because the beauty of their paintings is that overwhelming. Thank you very much for a look at PK's life & genius.

He was a brilliant artist, who had a massive influence on modern art.

Klee was sooooo original that I think he helped redefine art. An interesting artist I knew named Terry O'shea said, 'Art is the process of redefining itself'. Art has a kind of life of its own. When I was young I used to get ideas for a painting. I would completely do a painting from a mental image. Later I did landscapes trying to capture the scene in front of me. More recently I've taken to decorating a surface with color. That last direction my took of decorating a surface was the most fun and the results were very pleasing. Too bad for me my paintings don't sell often and when they do it's for $50 give or take $10. But I paint only for myself. I did my first painting in water color about 64 years ago, and my first oil painting nearly 60 years ago. The winner is the one who never stops.

Klee is a painter whose art makes you gasp with astonished pleasure every time a new painting appears. Color, playfulness, above all the gift of translating imagination directly into its visual equivalent. I enjoyed this video.

​​@@ArtHistorySchooland so little known among people who would just enjoy his work so much!! He was one of my artist father's favorites, so I was blessed to learn about him very young. I actually got to see Picture Album up close in Phoenix at a special exhibition about the roots of abstract expressionism some years ago. I couldn't stop looking at it, my eyes just traveling over it and over it. ❤ Edit: it wasn't Picture Album. Off to search out the name of the correct painting!

Another excellent video about a very gifted artist, who has often been overlooked. Thank u very much, Mr Priestly! What a comprehensive and interesting presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Paul Klee is one of my favourite artists and he contributed so much to the art world and Bauhaus!

When I was at high school,circa 1971 I spotted a cheap print of Paul Klees' 'Senicio',hanging in a corridor above a radiator. It beauty captivated me. I asked a senior member of staff if I could take this warped,worthless print home. My request was refused,so I stole it and craftily took it home with me. That was where my love affair with Klees style began, and to this day,he is still my favourite artist .

It is interesting when I watch videos like this it takes me back to when I discovered the artist when in school. I realize now that one book I read by Paul Klee heavily influenced my own work and even the course I took in my life. I don’t remember the whole quote but he said something about leaving art school and learning painting by digging potatoes. I have therefore viewed every life experience as artistic inspiration. I decided to do landscapes recently, after watching lots of Bob Ross, and I now realize my landscapes are more subconsciously inspired by Paul Klee.

Great! I subbed. I love Paul Klee. And Kandinsky. I took 2 horrible beginning art classes in college. Arrogant jerk Jr. College teachers. However I took an avant-garde art class in University by a unique man named Charles F. CHARLES. I did a presentation on the artwork of the sczhoprenic patients of Carl Jung. Professor Charles asked me " OK, what does this painting mean?" My reply was " Oh, I don't know, perhaps the ascension of the soul". Then the Professor was stunned. He asked me before the class, " What's your major?" I told him " Psychology ". Then he very sincerely and thoughtfully relied " I believe you should be teaching art history in Graduate School ". I was blown away. But I must tell you that Professor Charles had such an iconoclastic approach to art history that he revolutionized my approach to being a Jazz Pianist. By the way Charles F. Charles taught for many years at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville Florida.
