More quotes by Paul Klee
There is no substitute for intuition.
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
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself.
Paul Klee
I want to be as though new-born, knowing nothing, absolutely nothing. Then I want to do something modest to work out by myself a tiny, formal motive, one that my pencil will be able to hold without technique.
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
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
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
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
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
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
My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Paul Klee
Genius is the error in the system.
Paul Klee
He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
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
It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.
Paul Klee
The beholder's eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture.
Paul Klee
Make chance essential.
Paul Klee
Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.
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
