藝苑掇英 Paul Klee 保羅·克利 (1879-1940) Surrealism Expressionism Abstract Art Swiss

Paul Klee’s was a Swiss born painter, with a unique style that was influenced by expressionism, cubism, surrealism, and orientalism. His written collections of lectures, Writings on Form and Design Theory are considered as important to modern art as Leonardo da Vinci’s written works were to the Renaissance. As a child, Klee was mainly oriented as a musician, having played the violin since he was eight, but in his teen years, he found that art allowed him freedom to explore his style and express his radical ideas. Although Klee is now considered a master of color theory, he spent a long time in his search for his sense of color. At first, Klee drew in black and white, saying he would never be a painter. But as an adult, after a visit to Tunisia, in which he was impressed by the quality of light, he had found his sense of color and began experimenting with his newfound decision to be a painter.
Klee spent much of his adult life teaching at various universities and art schools, including the German Bauhaus School of Art and Düsseldorf Academy. During his tenure at Düsseldorf, he was singled out as a Jew by the Nazi party. The Gestapo searched his home and he was fired from his job. Some of his later works were also seized by the Nazis.
Although the artist was born in Switzerland, he was not born a Swiss citizen. His father was a German national, and citizenship being decided on paternity, Klee was born a German citizen. His request for Swiss citizenship was not granted until six days after his untimely death from undiagnosed scleroderma. Klee’s legacy includes over 9,000 works of art, which have inspired many other painting and musical compositions. In 1938 he was immortalized by Steinway Pianos in their “Paul Klee Series” pianos.
保羅·克利 Paul Klee是瑞士出生的畫家，具有獨特的風格，受到表現主義，立體主義，超現實主義和東方主義的影響。他的書面作品集，形式寫作和設計理論被認為對現代藝術很重要，因為達芬奇的書面作品是文藝復興時期的作品。作為一個孩子，Klee主要是作為一名音樂家，從8歲開始就拉小提琴，但在他十幾歲的時候，他發現藝術讓他可以自由地探索自己的風格並表達他的激進思想。儘管克利現在被認為是色彩理論的大師，但他花了很長時間才尋找他的色彩感。起初，克利畫了黑白兩色，說他永遠不會是畫家。但作為一名成年人，在訪問突尼斯之後，他對光的質量印象深刻，他已經找到了自己的色彩，並開始嘗試他新發現的做畫家的決定。
克利的大部分成年生活都在各大學和藝術學校教學，包括德國包豪斯藝術學院和杜塞爾多夫學院。在杜塞爾多夫任職期間，他被納粹黨選為猶太人。蓋世太保搜查了他的家，他的工作被解雇了。他的一些後期作品也被納粹佔領。
雖然這位藝術家出生於瑞士，但他並非出生於瑞士。他的父親是德國國民，公民身份由父親決定，克利出生於德國公民。他的瑞士公民身份要求直到他未確診的硬皮病過早死亡六天后才被批准。 Klee的遺產包括超過9,000件藝術作品，這些作品激發了許多其他繪畫和音樂作品。 1938年，施坦威鋼琴在他們的“保羅克利系列”鋼琴曲中。
