For your art information and insight, Art Center Information proudly gives you a moment to appreciate the artist, Paul Klee, undoubtedly one of painting’s most inventive technicians. He was a very prolific artist that had at any given time a crowded studio full of dozens of works on easels in various stages of development. A museum dedicated to Klee was built in Bern, Switzerland, and opened in June 2005 and houses a collection of about 4,000 of his works.

Klee painted using a wide variety of media and substrates, for example, oil on cardboard mounted on wood, oil on plaster-coated gauze on cardboard, canvas on cardboard, oil on canvas coated with white tempera mounted on wood. He painted not only with oils, but with pastels and watercolors.

Klee had a system that organized the colors of the spectrum moved around a central axis dominated by the three primary colors-red, yellow and blue.

Here at the art center we have posted this for your art information and art education. It is always fascinating to read and study famous artists, and try to find out what made them “tick,” so to speak.  To imagine the tremendous effort put in by this great artist, it makes one wonder how he had that much time to paint such a prodigious amount of great works.
