More quotes by Paul Klee
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
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
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
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
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
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
It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth.
Paul Klee
The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself.
Paul Klee
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
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
By using patches of color and tone it is possible to capture every natural impression in the simplest way, freshly and immediately.
Paul Klee
One day I will lie nowhere with an angel at my side.
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
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
To give emphasis only to beauty makes me think of a mathematics that deals with positive numbers only.
Paul Klee
All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!
Paul Klee
I paint in order not to cry.
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.
