More quotes by 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
Becoming is superior to being.
Paul Klee
Make chance essential.
Paul Klee
To give emphasis only to beauty makes me think of a mathematics that deals with positive numbers only.
Paul Klee
Everything passes, and what remains of former times, what remains of life, is the spiritual. In everything we do, the claim of the Absolute is unchanging.
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
It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.
Paul Klee
Drawing is the art of taking a line for a walk.
Paul Klee
There is no substitute for intuition.
Paul Klee
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
Paul Klee
The beholder's eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture.
Paul Klee
Genius is the error in the system.
Paul Klee
Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.
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
The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself.
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
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
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
