Klee: A Study of His Life and Work
Klee: A Study of His Life and Work
Frederick A. Praeger, Publishers | 1957 | ISBN: N/A | English | 314 pages | PDF | 46.4 MB
A succinct, sympathetic chronicle of the artist's life, with pertinent observations about the music and books and travel that were influences, and about his friendships with Kandinsky, Franz Marc, and others. Synchronized with this fabric of events is an understanding recital of the stages of development in Klee's art, accompanied by reproductions of paintings and drawings, which enable the reader to follow the text without difficulty. San Lazzaro writes simply, feelingly and with authority. The many reproductions have been chosen not only to clarify Klee's development but also with a canny eye for bringing out all phases of his prodigious, many sided work. The volume combines a scholarly approach to modern art with popular appeal. Many of the reproductions have not previously been reproduced and, taken in connection with San Lazzaro's very pertinent text, they add considerably to our knowledge and appreciation of one of the most individual and influential artists of our time.
