Paul Klee – Master of anticipation


[click to enlarge]
Invention Nr6: Zwei Männer,
einander in höherer Stellung vermutend,
begegnen sich,
1903, Radierung, Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern
*
Encounter of two gentlemen
both reckoning to be in a superior position.
Obviously, Paul Klee who died today 80 years ago, anticipated already in 1903 what kind of a self-proclaimed "master race" in 1937 would initiate a Degenerated Art Exhibition.

      That's what it does with me.
      And what thoughts came into your mind?

      Ach, too unformed and vague to be said. Sometimes I do manage reticence, although not often.
