Spiral rose blooms scattered across a maroon townscape

Rose blossoms, each a small spiral coil on a thin green stem, are scattered across an angular townscape of gabled roofs and terraced garden beds in maroon, magenta, purple, cream and burnt orange. A round grey tower with a red conical roof stands at the left, a pale cream tower at the right, and at the top centre a red square bearing a white star sits beneath a pale gable. The paint is built up in visible strokes with fine cracking across the darker passages.

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.
