Learn about the life of artist Paul Klee in this Paul Klee biography. Paul Klee was born on the 18th of December 1879 in Muchenbuchsee, near Bern in Switzerland. Encouraged by his parents, he started violin classes at age seven and proved himself to be a very talented musician.
He moved to Munich in 1898 to study art at the Academy of Fine Arts with Heinrich Knirr and Franz von Stuck. His first important works, a series of etchings, called ‘Inventions’ were undertaken between 1903-1905 after a visit to Italy. In June 1905 he visited Paris where he saw Impressionist paintings and the work of van Gogh, Cezanne and the Belgian artist, James Ensor. On 15th of September 1906, he married Lily Stumpf.
Naturalistic painting didn’t interest him. His aim was for creativity and imagination to determine the outcome of the picture, inspired by the first layers of paint or marks applied to the canvas.
Around 1911 he met August Macke and Wassily Kandinsky. His friendship with Franz Marc proved crucial because it was Marc that showed Klee how far abstraction and a visionary approach to content could be taken. In 1914 he visited Tunisia with Louis Moilliet and August Macke and it was in Hammamet that Klee claimed in his diary that his breakthrough to painting in colour had occurred. ‘Colour and I are one.’
Hans Goltz organised a large retrospective exhibition of 362 Paul Klee paintings in his Munich gallery in May 1920. This was Klee’s breakthrough, but despite a guaranteed annual income, he felt it too risky to rely on just selling paintings. So, he accepted an offer to teach at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. In 1925 Paul Klee’s pedagogical sketchbook, based on his visual form lectures, was published as a student Bauhaus manual. By the mid-1920s Klee’s reputation had spread far beyond Germany.
In 1926 Paul Klee took part in the Surrealist’s first exhibition in Paris and in 1928 he visited Egypt. In March 1930 the Museum of Modern Art in New York, USA presented an exhibition of his work, the institution’s first solo show by a living European artist. In 1933, when Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, Klee was denounced as a "Galician Jew" and a "cultural Bolshevik," and his work derided as "subversive" and "insane."
In 1936 Paul Klee was diagnosed with progressive scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease and for over almost a year was almost incapable of working. In April of 1937 17 paintings by Paul Klee were shown at the infamous exhibition of Degenerate Art in Munich. The Nazi’s also confiscated over 100 of his works from public collections in Germany.
Paul Klee’s late paintings and drawings are strongly influenced by the harsh distortions of Pablo Picasso’s work of the 1920s and ’30s.
Paul Klee died in hospital in Locarno, Switzerland 29th of June 1940. In 2005 Zentrum Paul Klee Museum opened as an independent institution and research centre containing around 40% of Paul Klee’s entire output.

“Drawing is . . . . Taking a line for a walk” Not only a wonderful artist; I bet he was a wonderful teacher, too.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

He certainly was. Cheers

[@nelsonx5326]

Klee was sooooo original that I think he helped redefine art. An interesting artist I knew named Terry O'shea said, 'Art is the process of redefining itself'. Art has a kind of life of its own. When I was young I used to get ideas for a painting. I would completely do a painting from a mental image. Later I did landscapes trying to capture the scene in front of me. More recently I've taken to decorating a surface with color. That last direction my took of decorating a surface was the most fun and the results were very pleasing. Too bad for me my paintings don't sell often and when they do it's for $50 give or take $10. But I paint only for myself. I did my first painting in water color about 64 years ago, and my first oil painting nearly 60 years ago. The winner is the one who never stops.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Keep up the good work.

[@rebeccamalin3180]

Thank-you for the very informative history of Paul Klee. There was so much art and information I will watch it again. What a great start to the day. FANTASTIC!!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Many thanks. Cheers

[@chantemoody8416]

Same. I plan on watching this multiple times

[@dominikorlowski566]

No

[@mortalclown3812]

At a museum display of Klee's work, I had the closest thing to Stendhal syndrome I'll probably ever experience. What's wild was how tiny the canvases were: it didn't matter. They might as well have been the gigantic El Greco I saw in Chicago that made me tremble. 😂✨💖 My Mom said I reacted to art from infancy. Sometimes I have to cover my eyes because the beauty of their paintings is that overwhelming. Thank you very much for a look at PK's life & genius.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

He was a brilliant artist, who had a massive influence on modern art.

[@peterpiperthefirst9791]

Klee is a painter whose art makes you gasp with astonished pleasure every time a new painting appears. Color, playfulness, above all the gift of translating imagination directly into its visual equivalent. I enjoyed this video.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you liked the video, I think you are right about Klee.

[@karendewitt455]

Thank you very much for these lectures and their clarity. I'm going to focus on one artist every six months-Klee first-- and learn about him/her/it. Thank you so much.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

You are so welcome!

[@papavasile]

I always had a great deep appreciation for Paul Klee. But thanks to you I learnt more about his life and saw paintings I have never seen before. One of the last paintings with the white skull is so expressive and simple yet holds a lot of meanings and power. Thank you

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Really pleased you enjoyed the video. He was a great artist.

[@andyokus5735]

Great! I subbed. I love Paul Klee. And Kandinsky. I took 2 horrible beginning art classes in college. Arrogant jerk Jr. College teachers. However I took an avant-garde art class in University by a unique man named Charles F. CHARLES. I did a presentation on the artwork of the sczhoprenic patients of Carl Jung. Professor Charles asked me " OK, what does this painting mean?" My reply was " Oh, I don't know, perhaps the ascension of the soul". Then the Professor was stunned. He asked me before the class, " What's your major?" I told him " Psychology ". Then he very sincerely and thoughtfully relied " I believe you should be teaching art history in Graduate School ". I was blown away. But I must tell you that Professor Charles had such an iconoclastic approach to art history that he revolutionized my approach to being a Jazz Pianist. By the way Charles F. Charles taught for many years at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville Florida.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thanks for the sub, Glad you enjoyed the video. Professor Charles sounds a fascinating character.

[@rosezingleman5007]

I’ve always just loved Paul Klee’s work. So inventive, such color. Really one of the greats who deserves more attention. Thank you.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Couldn't agree more!

[@dennischiapello3879]

Klee has long been my "favorite" painter, but I only knew bits and pieces of his life and career. Short as it was, your lesson here pulled a lot together.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

That's great. Cheers

[@ay2257]

Yes!!! Not enough Paul Klee on youtube. You always make excellent videos so I'm glad you've done him.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Yes, he is very underrated.

[@waterwatereverywhere]

​​@@ArtHistorySchooland so little known among people who would just enjoy his work so much!! He was one of my artist father's favorites, so I was blessed to learn about him very young. I actually got to see Picture Album up close in Phoenix at a special exhibition about the roots of abstract expressionism some years ago. I couldn't stop looking at it, my eyes just traveling over it and over it. ❤ Edit: it wasn't Picture Album. Off to search out the name of the correct painting!

[@JoyFaheyArtist]

Thanks so much for this truly inspirational video. I've been a fan of Paul Klee for years, he never ceases to amaze me and motivates me in my own artistic journey! 😊

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you, he was an inspirational painter

I love his work. Thank you so much for showing his work. 9000 pieces…amazing.

Thank you.

[@carolelerman9686]

Thanks Paul again ! Seems Klee found color in Tunis, makes me want to go there. I wonder if it's still the same. You always do a wonderful job and always look forward to the next one.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

I have been to Tunisia and the colour is strong there, must be something to with the dry atmosphere and strong light.

This is fantastic! I knew little about Paul Klee, but discovered through this video that was a prolific painter and I have fallen in love with several of those included here. Many thanks - and I am now a subscriber!

Thank you for subscribing, glad you liked the video. Cheers

[@barrymoore4470]

One of the most magical artists of the twentieth century, with a childlike purity of outlook and a disarming air of simplicity in realization that belies a profound intellectual commitment to his vocation. This serves as an excellent introduction to the man and his legacy.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

[@astrid4532]

Another excellent video about a very gifted artist, who has often been overlooked. Thank u very much, Mr Priestly! What a comprehensive and interesting presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Paul Klee is one of my favourite artists and he contributed so much to the art world and Bauhaus!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

[@emmawatson9593]

Excellent video, thank you so much for your work. A suggestion if you are open to them…at times your presence on screen is a slight distraction from the paintings and it would be helpful to see the pieces on their own to really have a chance to take them in. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge, this channel is a wonderful educator.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Thank you for your comment, point noted. Cheers

[@martinsanders5097]

Thoroughly enjoyable video. Now have to add Klee to my favorite artist list.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers

[@scathatch]

So interesting. Always love Klee's work but so many pieces Id never seen before. Seems to be have also been hugely influential. Keith Haring springs to mind. It's the delicacy of his colour work and carefully crafted sense of form and play that I so appreciate. Thankyou so much.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

He was a much underrated painter. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers

Such a fantastic artist. Thank you for all your hard work you do on these great artists.

Paul your efforts to create informative, entertaining content has -- once more -- succeeded brilliantly. Because you've packed so much into a short production, I happily watch them over and over, finding new bits each time.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Wow, thanks! It does take a lot of time to make the videos, but it is worth the effort when they are appreciated. Many thanks. Cheers

Love Klee's work, Fish Magic hangs in my little art room. As much as the art, also love all his whimsical titles. All paintings should have good titles!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

True

[@davevanfunk8917]

This was an excellent presentation! I just found a used copy of The Diaries of Paul Klee - will have to delve into it

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Should be well worth a look.

[@ArachneAnathema]

It is interesting when I watch videos like this it takes me back to when I discovered the artist when in school. I realize now that one book I read by Paul Klee heavily influenced my own work and even the course I took in my life. I don’t remember the whole quote but he said something about leaving art school and learning painting by digging potatoes. I have therefore viewed every life experience as artistic inspiration. I decided to do landscapes recently, after watching lots of Bob Ross, and I now realize my landscapes are more subconsciously inspired by Paul Klee.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

That's wonderful, its amazing how artists influence us often very subtly .

[@andrewfrost8866]

As always, informative, interesting and entertaining! thank you Paul!!

In 1968 my primary school teacher much admired the work of Paul Klee. I always promised myself that I would find out about him. Now I have, thank you.

[@ArtHistorySchool]

Yes, he led a very interesting life.

[@picksalot1]

Excellent Documentary of an Artist who's works bring a smile to my face. It was fascinating to see the evolution and transformation of his different styles of painting. I was unfamiliar with his early works. Thanks

That studio stuffed with paintings is a revelation. So much work and dedication to making his art. Was he the artist who painted on the kitchen bench while being a house husband, or do I have him mixed up with someone else. Such cultured people with talent in so many areas.

You are right, he did paint at the kitchen table.

I've always, since 1975 when I was 15, been influenced by Klee. I painted on burlap to be more like him while still in my teens. His twittering machine, a crank handle powered set of tweeting birds, was as much a premonition of social media as anything. His paintings are magic .

[@ArtHistorySchool]

They certainly are.

It IS said that to represent meaningful art with simple lines and basic colors are one of the big challenges for an artist. If so, Paul Klee was a Master. I love his expressive artform. Simple lines and colors, yet innovative, provocative!

[@ArtHistorySchool]

He was a master, sophistication doesn't have to be complex. Cheers

My dear master Paul, another work of your art, the art of video! You are the first who brought Klee closer to me, thank you so much for your important work.

When I was at high school,circa 1971 I spotted a cheap print of Paul Klees' 'Senicio',hanging in a corridor above a radiator. It beauty captivated me. I asked a senior member of staff if I could take this warped,worthless print home. My request was refused,so I stole it and craftily took it home with me. That was where my love affair with Klees style began, and to this day,he is still my favourite artist .

[@yarlkymcfirblatherington9879]

I'm a professional artist and have followed and admired Klee all my life. He understood the power of free line and the "character of appearance" of form. Also, the emotional power of colour. His only drawback was his confinement as a cabinet painter, which limited his pictoral size. His studios were small. However, he was one of the best of the 20thc masters. His reckless use of toxic art materials probably hastened his early death.

You are very right. Cheers

I’ve always loved Klee; his works have a calming, curious, childlike quality for me. And speaking of which, to those who claim “Hah, my 6 year old could paint that”, the immense scientific concepts this artist carried in his head certainly defies the above statement regarding his works as ‘child’s play’ 😉
