New Acquisitions: The Paul Klee Collection

No other artist of the 20th century made marks, lines and doodles sing with quite the same melody as Paul Klee (1879-1940). As a result, you’ll spend ages peering at and poring over the witty, joyful masterpieces in this career-spanning, 25-work retrospective of the Swiss-German artist, watching Klee’s ideas spring to life on canvas.Drawing influences from Surrealism, Cubism and Expressionism, Klee experimented tirelessly with colour theory, materials and technique. He was originally associated with the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter and later taught at Germany’s legendary Bauhaus school before his work was deemed ‘degenerate’ by the Nazis.
