Paul Klee was born in 1879 in Switzerland to a German father and Swiss mother. His father was a music teacher and his mother an actress. They encouraged their son to become a musician, but as a teen he decided his calling was in visual art, not music. In the early 20th century he found success as an artist and was part of the Expressionist, Abstract Art and Surrealism movements. Much like his Russian friend, Wassily Kandinsky, he did much study with color and shapes. Klee loved the innocence and joy of children’s art, and allowed them to influence his work. His work was often humorous and playful, and the use of basic shapes and bright colors was seen in much of his work. Klee loved using basic shapes to create pictures of cities, churches and the castles that dotted the countryside in Germany. Paul Klee Art Project is influenced by some of Klee’s most basic paintings, where squares, rectangles and triangles are used to create a cityscape.<\/em><\/p>\n
