Paul Klee was a painter renowned for his highly individual style, which drew on a wide array of influences, including Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and abstraction. Born in 1879 in Münchenbuchsee, near Bern, Klee's early passion for music profoundly influenced his approach to art, infusing his works with rhythm and structure. Klee's career included a significant period at the Bauhaus School of Art and Design, where he taught alongside contemporaries like Wassily Kandinsky. Klee also delved deeply into theoretical explorations of form and color, which were published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks. Suffering from scleroderma, an autoimmune disease, Klee continued creating until his death in 1940.
