Paul Klee
Paul Klee was a Swiss-born artist whose distinctive style drew from expressionism, cubism, surrealism, and orientalism. Originally trained as a violinist, Klee turned to visual art in his teens, drawn to its expressive freedom. Though he initially worked only in black and white and doubted he would ever become a painter, a transformative trip to Tunisia awakened his sensitivity to color and inspired his lifelong exploration of its possibilities.
