Klee May Picture Tote

With a singular style characterized by abstracted forms and symbols, Paul Klee (German, b. Switzerland, 1879–1940) is renowned for his pioneering modernist visions. May Picture (1925), which features on our canvas tote, is from his Magic Square series, the result of a perspective-altering visit to Tunisia in 1914. Klee embraced the full power of abstraction by illustrating the landscape in squares. The painting exhibits his interest in color theory, which informed his teaching at the Bauhaus.
