Two orange stick-figures rise from a dark ochre ground

Two orange flower-figures rise against a dark brown ground above a warm ochre band. The taller one has a round pale face ringed in brown, an orange mouth and leaf-like orange arms streaked with fine lines; beside it a second orange figure carries a pale disc marked with a black I, and a matching disc with a black I sits low at the left. Both stand on black stilt legs. A white diamond inscribed V. rests on the ochre ground, and Klee's painted red-brown border surrounds the picture.

Paul Klee (1879–1940) was one of the most inventive artists of the twentieth century. Swiss-born and trained in Munich, he joined Kandinsky and Marc in the Blaue Reiter circle, found colour on a journey to Tunisia in 1914, and taught at the Bauhaus from 1921 to 1931, where his lectures on line, tone and colour became a theory of pictorial form. His small paintings and drawings move between geometry, script, humour and dream. After the Nazi regime dismissed him in 1933 he returned to Bern. His work is held by the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
