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 6
After terminating his teaching contract with the Bauhaus in Dessau, Klee, took up a new appointment on 1 April 1931 as a Professor at the Kunstakadamie in Düsseldorf. His tenure proved to be short-lived, however, and as a result of pressure from the Nazi regime he was dismissed in 1933. Meanwhile, his travels included visits to Sicily, Switzerland, Venice and the South of France. In December 1933, Klee made a final break with his homeland and moved his family to Switzerland, where they settled permanently in Berne.
