Paul Klee was a Swiss artist born in M\u00fcnchenbuchsee, Switzerland of German descent. He was known for his style which was influenced by the expressions, cubism, and surrealism movements. Klee was known as the father of abstract art with a style containing many forms from non-existent creatures to “mystical hieroglyphics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Klee relocated to Munich to study various art forms, he was influenced by artists such as Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. It also speculated that abstractionist painter, Kandinsky, was an inspiration for Klee’s works. Being an artist during the early 1900s, his work, and a group of other painters, greatly influenced future generations of artists with his abstract and cubism. During the twentieth century, there had been a resurgence of interest and returns to the forefront of modern art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the massive interest in cubism and abstract, I do not find myself very interested in these movements. They are very playful figures, although, do not elicit any emotional or mental response when looking at them. Despite my dislike for the simplicity of abstract and cubism, I found myself enjoying Klee’s piece, “Hammamet with Its Mosque.” It indeed looks like a simple piece, what intrigues me is the use of colour and the messy art style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was very intriguing to look at the works of Paul Klee, I gained a better understanding of abstract art after researching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
