A looping brown tree form bears pale blue fruit with gold cores
Paul Klee — The Sour Tree (Der Sauerbaum) | Bauhaus Fine Art Print
Note: Framed prints require slightly longer production time
Rounded, lobed leaf shapes in pale blue-grey and grey-brown, each outlined in a dark brown band, cluster like a bushy tree across the sheet, and each lobe carries a small yellow fruit set in a pale ring. The forms sit on a mottled grey-brown wash flecked with dark ink blots; a few thin dark-blue lines cut across the picture from the top corners and the lower left, and a band of deep blue closes the bottom edge. Klee's signature sits at the 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.
