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.

More quotes by 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
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
In earlier times artists liked to show what was actually visible... nowadays we are concerned with reality, rather than the merely visible.
Paul Klee
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
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
Gradually compositions make an appearance again. Political - satirical - conceits expressed in one figure or a few.
Paul Klee
The beholder's eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture.
Paul Klee
Frightened, I jump up from the bank, the struggle begins anew. Bitterness has returned. I am not Pan in the reed, I am merely a human being and want to climb a few steps, but really climb them.
Paul Klee
I paint in order not to cry.
Paul Klee
A line is a dot that went for a walk.
Paul Klee
Genius is the error in the system.
Paul Klee
I still come closest to success with drawing. When I use color the results are dubious, for these painfully gained experiences bear less fruit.
Paul Klee
Spatial art does not begin with a poetic mood or idea, but with construction of one or more figures, with the harmonizing of several colors and tones, or with the devaluation of spatial relationships and so on.
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
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
There is no substitute for intuition.
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
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
Becoming is superior to being.
Paul Klee
One day I will lie nowhere with an angel at my side.
Paul Klee
