Little Spruce is an abstract painting by the Swiss painter Paul Klee , who was known for his unique style, a combination of abstraction , symbolism and childlike naivety. The painting The Little Spruce was created in 1922 and bears all these characteristic elements of Klee's work.

Klee used a wide range of colors in his work, and The Little Spruce is no exception. The painting contains pastel shades of green, blue, purple, and more. These colors create a harmonious yet mysterious impression. The artist often worked with symbols in his work. A small spruce can symbolize nature, courage, or simplicity. The combination of an abstract background and a simple tree allows for different interpretations and open symbolism for the viewer.

Paul Klee (1879-1940). From childhood, he was interested in both music and painting, but as is evident, finally decided on painting - his paintings are among prized artworks. In Munich, he met Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and other artists of the then avant-garde. He met also his future wife, pianist Lily Stumpf. His work is associated with a expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was one of the four Die Blaue Vier (with Kandinsky, Feininger and Jawlensky). He taught at Bauhaus and the Düsseldorf Academy until 1933, when the Nazis declared his paintings a figment of a sick soul and with labelled his whole creation as degenerate art. Klee was extremely hardworking and after his death, he left behind 8926 works in Switzerland. Klee’s paintings are fragile, with a sensitive use of color (his colour mixing ranks among the world’s best) and frequent references to poetry, music and dreams.
