PAUL KLEE. Miraculous Landing, or the "112! "

Miraculous Landing, or the "112!". Artist: Paul Klee (German (born Switzerland), Münchenbuchsee 1879-1940 Muralto-Locarno). Dimensions: 12 1/4 in. × 15 in. (31.1 × 38.1 cm). Date: 1920. In 1918, Klee evoked the following image in his diary: "The storm on the wheat field was captivating; I'll paint a ship sailing on waves of rye." Klee never painted that picture, but this one seems just as miraculous. A boat of the type of Noah's Ark-the "112"-is moored to a boathouse. The face of the girl in the left window is expressionless; her eyes are closed. Perhaps this "miraculous landing" exists only in her imagination.
