Collection: Paul Klee   1879 - 1940 

Paul Klee was a painter born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, and is considered to be a Swiss German. He was originally associated with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, and subsequently taught at the Bauhaus, the widely influential German art school of the interwar period.

Klee participated in, and was influenced by, a range of artistic movements, including surrealism, cubism and expressionism. He taught in Germany until 1933, when the Nazis declared his work indecent. The Klee family fled to Switzerland, where Paul Klee died on June 29, 1940.
