More quotes by Paul Klee
My hand is entirely the implement of a distant sphere. It is not my head that functions but something else, something higher, something somewhere remote. I must have great friends there, dark as well as bright. They are all very kind to me.
Paul Klee
A line is a dot that went for a walk.
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
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
Paul Klee
Gradually compositions make an appearance again. Political - satirical - conceits expressed in one figure or a few.
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
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
To give emphasis only to beauty makes me think of a mathematics that deals with positive numbers only.
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
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
Genius is the error in the system.
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
Make chance essential.
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
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
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
Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.
Paul Klee
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Becoming is superior to being.
Paul Klee
