Klee and the Munich Revolution
This title is no longer available from the Roland Collection. Details remain on this site for the reference of previous customers.
Paul Klee was a Swiss painter and etcher who described his art of free fantasy as `taking a line for a walk.' He was also an impassioned teacher and published a great deal on the theory of art. Here we concentrate on Klee's work, his writings and the historical events taking place during his involvement, and subsequent withdrawal from, the political ideas and events of the Munich revolution of 1918-19. In particular we examine the contrast between his illustrations for the revolutionary Potsdamer Platz and his painting Young Proletarian, all done in 1919, and his fairytale paintings and work for Munich Leaves, which bear witness to his withdrawal from politics.
