Michael Gaumnitz - Paul Klee: The Silence of the Angel (2005)

Paul Klee (18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered color theory, and wrote extensively about it; his lectures on form and design theory, published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are considered so important for modern art that are compared to the importance that Leonardo’s A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance.
