One thing I always loved about Paul Klee's works, is that like surrealism, Paul's art has me feel like I'm looking into somebody else's dreams. The fish floating in midair against the darkness, and the dream-like colors help to make his work seem magical and surreal. His works are also childlike in nature, almost like they all come from an imaginative children's dream. Very fun work to study.

Interesting and scholarly, but he read the whole thing in a very unanimated way. Guess you can’t have everything. I did enjoy the content very much.

Not much passion unfortunately

Pandemic? What pandemic?

[@stalkek]

The deadly pandemic that wiped out the homeless in your local city. Oh wait a minute, no, it didn’t wipe them out. It didn’t seem to affect them at all. What a pandemic.
