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.

More quotes by Paul Klee
One day I will lie nowhere with an angel at my side.
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
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
Paul Klee
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.
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
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
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
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
A line comes into being. It goes out for a walk, so to speak, aimlessly for the sake of the walk.
Paul Klee
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
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
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
Paul Klee
The more horrible this world (as today, for instance), the more abstract our art, whereas a happy world brings forth an art of the here and now.
Paul Klee
The beholder's eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture.
Paul Klee
Becoming is superior to being.
Paul Klee
There is no substitute for intuition.
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
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
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
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
