Paul Klee was a natural draftsman, who over many years, developed his mastery over color and tonality. The variety expressed in his drawings and paintings ranges from highly polychromatic to monochrome artworks.
Klee held his first solo exhibition in Bern in 1910, after which he moved to three other cities. Klee’s graphic talents were also featured in the 1920 version of Candide by Voltaire edited by Kurt Wolffe.
In Germany, 17 of Klee’s works were featured in a 1937 exhibition for “degenerate art” and approximately 102 of Paul Klee artworks were seized from public collections.
