专家说明

Bau am Bach is a fine example of Paul Klee’s unique poetic style. In the present lot, the artist’s serious artistic constructions are combined with his – also typical – childish side, in which he plays with pictorial elements, wittingly juxtaposing them. In this drawing the abstract lines, delicately drawn and balanced, seem to become figural elements and to be turning into a house and a small stream of water with a fir tree next to it. The composition is completed by a tiny full moon shining on the scene, which makes it even more delicate and surreal.
