Small Garden Ghost
Paul Klee

Paul Klee was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, on December 18, 1879. Klee participated in and was influenced by a range of artistic movements, including surrealism, cubism and expressionis​m. He taught art in Germany until 1933, when the National Socialists declared his work indecent.

Small Garden Ghost is a watercolor and pencil on paper; 1929. Executed during the height of the artist's involvement with Walter Gropius' Bauhaus, this work accentuates the unique iconography that personifies Klee's strongest works. The bright palette and layered tonalites of KLEINER GARTENGEIST (SMALL GARDEN GHOST) show us the artist's unmatched ability with works on paper while the composition represents his unique ability to approach the boundaries of figural abstraction.
