Polyphonic painting is superior to music in that there, the time element becomes a spatial element. The notion of simultaneity stands out even more richly.

More quotes by Paul Klee
Make chance essential.
Paul Klee
The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself.
Paul Klee
A line is a dot that went for a walk.
Paul Klee
A line comes into being. It goes out for a walk, so to speak, aimlessly for the sake of the walk.
Paul Klee
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
Like people, a picture has a skeleton, muscles and skin.
Paul Klee
Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.
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
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
In earlier times artists liked to show what was actually visible... nowadays we are concerned with reality, rather than the merely visible.
Paul Klee
Art does not reproduce the visible it makes visible.
Paul Klee
The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.
Paul Klee
I paint in order not to cry.
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
All art is a memory of age-old things, dark things, whose fragments live on in the artist.
Paul Klee
One day I will lie nowhere with an angel at my side.
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
He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
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
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Paul Klee
