A talented violinist as well as a painter, Klee drew much of the
inspiration for his abstract art from musical rhythms and structures.
Like a composer, he developed and harmonized pictorial themes, weaving a
complex series of signs and symbols into his painting. The book focuses
on Klee's decade long tenure at the Bauhaus, where the artist's theories
and practices first merged. Illustrated throughout with full-color
reproductions of Klee's paintings and etchings, as well as entries from
his diaries, this unique study sheds light on an important aspect of
Klee's work while providing insights into his development as an abstract
artist.
