Paul Klee biography in Biographies from the artzine on artrepublic.com

Paul Klee’s distinctive, colourful and varied works have a broad, enduring appeal. He was involved in several of the major art movements of the 20th Century. His use of colour and composition allowed him to create a highly varied output, from strong and masculine to fairytale and dreamlike images. 

Paul Klee was born in 1879. As a child he was accomplished not only in painting, but also in writing and music. He was one of the founding members of the ‘Der Blaue Reiter’ group of artists along with Kandinsky. Later he taught at the famous Bauhaus School until the rise of the Nazi’s forced him to return to his homeland of Switzerland. He had an extraordinarily prolific career producing almost 9,000 works. Klee contracted skin cancer in 1934 and eventually died of the disease in 1940.
