Cold City

The painting shows an abstract depiction of an urban scene. It is dominated by geometric shapes resembling buildings and houses with windows, rendered mostly in tones of brown, beige and white. The composition features a stylized figure in the center, which is simply expressed by the rectangular shape of the body and a circle as the head. The overall effect is harmonious and the hand-painted textures add depth and character to the painting.

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.
