Image
Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself.
Paul Klee
Image
A line is a dot that went for a walk.
Paul Klee
Image
I paint in order not to cry.
Paul Klee
Image
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
Paul Klee
Image
Color has got me. I no longer need to chase after it. It has got me for ever. I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour.
Paul Klee
Image
There is no substitute for intuition.
Paul Klee
Image

Paul Klee
Image
Genius is the error in the system.
Paul Klee
Image
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
Paul Klee
Image
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Image
Sometimes I dream of a work of really great breadth, ranging through the whole region of object, meaning, and style. This, I fear, will remain a dream, but it is a good thing to bear the possibility occasionally in mind.
Paul Klee
Image
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
Paul Klee
Image
See with one eye, feel with the other.
Paul Klee
