PAUL KLEE. Variations (Progressive Motif)

Variations (Progressive Motif). Artist: Paul Klee (German (born Switzerland), Münchenbuchsee 1879-1940 Muralto-Locarno). Dimensions: 16 x 15 3/4 in. (40.6 x 40 cm). Date: 1927. Klee gridded this small canvas in such a way that the design looks like slightly irregular graph paper or a pattern of parquetry boards. Due to a variation in the same motif--horizontally striped, light blue squares on the outside versus ivory-shaded ones with diagonal and crisscross lines toward the center--there emerges a subtly patterned image that anticipates Minimalist painting by about forty years.
