More quotes by Paul Klee

Image
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
Image
Gradually compositions make an appearance again. Political - satirical - conceits expressed in one figure or a few.
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
Make chance essential.
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
There is no substitute for intuition.
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
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
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
Drawing is the art of taking a line for a walk.
Paul Klee
Image
He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
Paul Klee
Image
The beholder's eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture.
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
It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.
Paul Klee
Image
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
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
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
See with one eye, feel with the other.
Paul Klee
Image
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
Image
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
