More quotes by Paul Klee

Image
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
Paul Klee
Image
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Image
There is no substitute for intuition.
Paul Klee
Image
Democracy with its semi-civilization sincerely cherishes junk. The artists power should be spiritual. But the power of the majority is material. When these worlds meet occasionally, it is pure coincidence.
Paul Klee
Image
The beholder's eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture.
Paul Klee
Image
Genius is the error in the system.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One day I will lie nowhere with an angel at my side.
Paul Klee
Image
Nature can afford to be prodigal in everything, the artist must be frugal down to the last detail. Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
Paul Klee
Image
See with one eye, feel with the other.
Paul Klee
Image
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
Becoming is superior to being.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
Paul Klee
