Paul Klee
1. Paul Klee
Born: 18 December 1879; Münchenbuchsee,
Switzerland
Died: 29 June 1940; Muralto, Locarno, Switzerland
Klee played the violin since he was eight, but as a teen was drawn to art
because it allowed him to express his ideas more clearly. Paul Klee was
influenced by expressionism, cubism, surrealism and orientalism.
He spent much of his adult life teaching at various universities and art schools,
including the German Bauhaus School of Art and Düsseldorf Academy. He is
known for his writing and lectures on Art and Design.
Klee’s legacy includes over 9,000 works of art, which have inspired many other
painting and musical compositions. In 1938 he was immortalized by Steinway
Pianos in their “Paul Klee Series” pianos.

At first, Klee drew in black and white, saying he would never be a painter. But after a visit to Tunisia, in which
he was impressed by the quality of light, he had found his sense of color and began experimenting with a
new style of painting.
