Description and Table of Contents

Volume

v. 1 ISBN 9780500092781

Description

Paul Klee (1879-1940) is perhaps one of the most significant and best-loved artists of the 20th century. For the nine volumes of this publication, the Berne-based Paul Klee Foundation has researched the artist's 9600 drawings, prints, watercolours, and oil paintings - allowing the artist's complete work to be assembled and published in one complete set. Presenting Klee's oeuvre in chronological order, each volume contains an introduction in German and English, an explanation of the catalogue system, a German-English glossary, a bibliography and indexes. All the entries are illustrated, and include catalogue numbers, technical descriptions, measurements, references to related works, details of provenance and location, relevant literature and a list of exhibitions and auctions in which it has appeared. Klee's own entries from the oeuvre catalogue he wrote from 1911 onwards are also included, and some of the most important works of his career are illustrated in colour. Volume 1 follows Klee from childhood through his years studying painting in Munich until 1912 - the year after he held his first one-man exhibition and made contact with the "Blaue Reiter" artists Kandinsky, Marc and Macke. At this early stage in his career, Klee was working mainly in black and white graphic media, producing etchings bearing the influence of the German Renaissance tradition.

v. 5 ISBN 9780500092835

Paul Klee is one of the most significant arists of the 20th century. For the nine volumes of this catalogue raisonne, the Berne-based Paul Klee Foundation has researched the artist's 9,600 drawings, prints, watercolours and oil paintings.

From 1927 to 1930, Klee's teaching at the Bauhaus in Dessau was interspersed with trips abroad. These included a journey up the Nile to see the famous monuments at Luxor, Karnak, Thebes and other ancient Egyptian sites. He also visited the south of France and northern Italy. All of these were valuable sources of visual inspiration. In 1930, to celebrate Klee's 50th birthday, a major exhibition of his work was held in Berlin, followed by another at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

v. 6 ISBN 9780500092842

Description

Paul Klee is one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. For the nine volumes of this landmark project, the Paul Klee Foundation researched some 9,800 drawings, prints, watercolours and oil paintings to catalogue the artist's oeuvre in its entirety. Presenting Klee's output 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. In 1931, after terminating his teaching contract with the Bauhaus, Klee took up a professorship at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art. Two years later, however, he came under attack from the Nazis and was dismissed, whereupon he went to live in Switzerland. Klee's work during 1931-33 reflects his further travels, to Sicily, Venice and the South of France.

Returning to Switzerland in 1933, Klee settled in Berne, active there until illness reduced his output in 1936. In 1937-38 he used a simplified graphic style with heavy black outlines. These later works reveal his reaction to political persecution in Germany and the Nazi threat to European culture.
