Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.

More quotes by Paul Klee
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself.
Paul Klee
In my productive activity, every time a type grows beyond the stage of its genesis, and I have about reached the goal, the intensity gets lost very quickly, and I have to look for new ways.
Paul Klee
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Polyphonic painting is superior to music in that there, the time element becomes a spatial element. The notion of simultaneity stands out even more richly.
Paul Klee
I still come closest to success with drawing. When I use color the results are dubious, for these painfully gained experiences bear less fruit.
Paul Klee
In earlier times artists liked to show what was actually visible... nowadays we are concerned with reality, rather than the merely visible.
Paul Klee
First of all, the art of living then as my ideal profession, poetry and philosophy, and as my real profession, plastic arts in the last resort, for lack of income, illustrations.
Paul Klee
Frightened, I jump up from the bank, the struggle begins anew. Bitterness has returned. I am not Pan in the reed, I am merely a human being and want to climb a few steps, but really climb them.
Paul Klee
A tendency toward the abstract is inherent in linear expression: graphic imagery being confined to outlines has a fairy-like quality and at the same time can achieve great precision.
Paul Klee
I paint in order not to cry.
Paul Klee
It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.
Paul Klee
My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Paul Klee
Drawing is the art of taking a line for a walk.
Paul Klee
See with one eye, feel with the other.
Paul Klee
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
Paul Klee
All is well with me. The rain doesn't reach me, my room is well heated, what more can one ask for? There's no shortage of work, either.
Paul Klee
A line comes into being. It goes out for a walk, so to speak, aimlessly for the sake of the walk.
Paul Klee
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
Paul Klee
