I’m expecting klee but who knows! Manet pulled off a surprise landslide.

I went to an exhibition of Klees from the Met today. So much amazing stuff.
"Clarification" probably doesn't come out well in reproduction, but it was incredibly beautiful in full size.

I love the softness of his line compared to the hard edges both of other modernist movements — like cubism — and much of the design of his colleagues at the bauhaus. It’s a more personal kind of modernism.

"Theatre-Mountain-Construction" had me tripping out a little bit too.

important update #2: there is now a Paul Klee poster hanging in front of my desk. That means that I am literally sitting between two Klimt and Klee posters. ILX: the thread: the life: the experience
the klee poster features his book cover for Kleine Welt:

That's awesome. I want to get a print of "Strange Garden" (1923), another that I saw at the exhibit last week:

Mushrooms, hour 3

you know, re: the overexposed klimt society portraits that everyone is tired of, if you ignore the faces and other anthromorphic bits and just focus on like the clothes and the background textures there are a lot of similarities to klee!

like enlarge that picture so you can only see the lower half of it and it doesn't look so different from klee!

oh I think some of his nature studies show he was more than just a stylist and even his more decorative/embellished stuff is actually quite loose and not as intensively overworked as it maybe looks at postcard scale.
