More quotes by Paul Klee
Every artist would like to live in the central organ of creation... Not all are destined to get there... but our beating hearts drive us deep down, right into the pit of creation.
Paul Klee
He neither serves nor rules, he transmits. His position is humble and the beauty at the crown is not his own. He is merely a channel.
Paul Klee
I have a clear view of 12 years of history of my inner self. First the cramped self, that self with big blinkers, then the disappearance of the blinkers and the self, now gradually the reemergence of a self without blinkers.
Paul Klee
Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.
Paul Klee
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Gradually compositions make an appearance again. Political - satirical - conceits expressed in one figure or a few.
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
We document, explain, justify, construct, organize: these are good things, but we do not succeed in coming to the whole. But we may as well calm down: construction is not absolute. Our virtue is this: by cultivating the exact we have laid the foundations for a science of art, including the unknown X.
Paul Klee
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
Drawing is the art of taking a line for a walk.
Paul Klee
What my art probably lacks is a kind of passionate humanity... There is no sensuous relationship, not even the noblest, between myself and the many.
Paul Klee
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
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
A line comes into being. It goes out for a walk, so to speak, aimlessly for the sake of the walk.
Paul Klee
Genius is the error in the system.
Paul Klee
My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Paul Klee
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
Paul Klee
A certain fire pretends to be alive it awakens. Working its way along the hand as a conductor, it reaches the support and engulfs it then a leaping spark closes the circle it was to trace, coming back to the eye and beyond.
Paul Klee
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
