Paul Klee exhibition at Tate Modern, London

 

 

Paul Klee is a giant of twentieth-century art and one of the great creative innovators of the time.
Witty, inventive, magical, his exquisite paintings resist easy classification. He is mentioned in the same breath as Matisse, Picasso and his Bauhaus contemporary Kandinsky.
He cuts a radical figure in European modernism. His influence on abstraction can be seen in the works of Rothko, Miro and beyond. And yet, for an artist of such stature, there is still so much to discover about him.

At Tate Modern this autumn, you can rediscover Klee’s extraordinary body of work and see it in a new light. Paintings, drawings and watercolours from collections around the world will be reunited and displayed alongside each other as the artist originally intended, often for the first time since Klee exhibited them himself.
