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
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
Image
To give emphasis only to beauty makes me think of a mathematics that deals with positive numbers only.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
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
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
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
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
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
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
Image
Gradually compositions make an appearance again. Political - satirical - conceits expressed in one figure or a few.
Paul Klee
Image
My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
Paul Klee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I paint in order not to cry.
Paul Klee
Image
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
Image
There is no substitute for intuition.
Paul Klee
Image
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
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.
