Paul Klee is one of the most significant and best-loved artists of the twentieth century. For the nine volumes of this landmark project, the Paul Klee Foundation in Switzerland researched some 9,800 drawings, prints, watercolours and oil paintings to enable the artist's complete work to be catalogued and published in its entirety.
Presenting Klee's oeuvre in chronological order, each volume contains an introduction, an explanation of the catalogue system, a German-English glossary, a bibliography and indexes. All of the entries include full reference material, and the vast majority are illustrated. Klee's own entries from the meticulous catalogue he kept from 1911 until his death in 1940 are also included.
Volume 5
In the period 1927-1930, Klee remained active as a teacher at the Bauhaus in Dessau, while maintaining an output of new works (about 1,200 in all) at about the same level as in previous years. He was now receiving increased international attention from influential collectors, and important exhibitions featuring his work were held in New York (at The Museum of Modern Art) and Berlin. In addition, two illustrated monographs, published in Paris in 1929 and 1930 respectively, helped to bring his art to the attention of a wider public. During the four years under consideration Klee made further foreign trips, notably to Corsica, the South of France, Brittany and Egypt, resulting in numerous new drawings and watercolours devoted to topographical subjects
