Today is the birthday of Paul Klee (December 18, 1879 – June 29, 1940), painter, draughtsman, printmaker, teacher and writer. He wrote extensively about color theory.

"The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract; while a world at peace produces realistic art." - Paul Klee

"I cannot be grasped in the here and now. For I reside just as much with the dead as with the unborn. Somewhat closer to the heart of creation than usual. But not nearly close enough." - Paul Klee



"Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view." - Paul Klee
