Paul Klee, Swiss-German, 1879-1940
Klee is known for his artworks that variously incorporate styles including expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. As a prolific artist with more than 10,000 paintings, drawings and etchings, he captured aspects of his life through his artworks ranging from personal moods, to dry humor, and even political beliefs. He taught at the Bauhaus School of Art from 1921 to 1931 and is recognized for his exploration in color theory along with his colleague at the school, Wassily Kandinsky. Also, influenced by his early experiences in music, he is famous for polyphonic painting, which creates a sense of rhythm through simultaneous effects of contrasting elements.
