A red-dotted form glows at the center of a shadowed silhouette

A tall, upright silhouette in muted taupe and gray fills the sheet, its outline suggesting a robed figure with two narrow arm-like forms rising above its shoulders. At its center, a looping red-dotted band encircles a dark oval opening and a pale crescent shape, with a small patch of blue-dotted red at one side. The background is a soft brown watercolor wash, darker toward the edges. Klee signs the sheet at upper right.

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.
