Paul Klee: the thinking eye; the notebooks of Paul Klee by
Paul Klee(
Book
)
69 editions published between 1956 and 2013 in 3 languages and held by 890 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The writings which compose Paul Klee's theory of form production and pictorial form have the same importance and the same meaning for modern art as had Leonardo's writings which composed his theory of painting for Renaissance art. Like the latter, they do not constitute a true and proper treatise, that is to say a collection of stylistic and technical rules, but are the result of an introspective analysis which the artist engages in during his work and in the light of the experience of reality which comes to him in the course of his work. This analysis which accompanies and controls the formation of a work of art is a necessary component of the artistic process, the aim and the finality of which are brought to light by it . . ." So writes Giulio Carlo Argan in his Preface to this first volume of Klee's notebooks. The backbone of his Bauhaus courses was provided by the lecture notes contained in 'Contributions to a Theory of Pictorial Form' which are here published in their entirety. From more than 2,500 pages of the notebooks (consisting of memoranda, teaching projects, constructive drawings, and sketches for his pictures) it has been possible to reconstruct additional courses of instruction. Also included are the 'Creative Credo', 'Ways of Nature Study', the Jena lecture of 1924 and the essay' Exact Experiments in the Realm of Art'. The volume includes a magnificent collection of over one thousand drawings which illustrate the notes, as well as 188 half-tone illustrations, eight of these reproduced in full color

Jean-Louis Ferrier(
Book
)
11 editions published between 1998 and 2001 in 3 languages and held by 524 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Jean-Louis Ferrier's highly original interpretation offers us a new point of entrance into Paul Klee's playful, mysterious world. Of the artist's corpus of 8,926 works, 140 are illustrated here. Born into a family of musicians, Klee long hesitated between painting and the violin, and music remained a major source of inspiration. His quest to geometrize the subject and his work on materials, line and colour proved seminal. He began teaching at the Bauhaus in 1920, making a major contribution to the development of the visual arts. To this distinguished teaching career we owe his celebrated theoretical works, notably the Pedagogical Sketch Book."--Jacket

Ecrits théoriques d'un grand artiste qui a influencé l'art contemporain, la peinture en particulier. De lecture parfois difficile. Convient à des esthètes amateurs de théories. Présentation très soignée. Illustrations très abondantes: graphiques, dessins, reproductions d'oeuvres en noir, quelques reproductions en couleurs. On veut publier les écrits théoriques intégraux de l'artiste. Le v.1 "La pensée créatrice" (1973) est plus structuré que le v. 2 "Histoire naturelle infinie" (1977). Ce dernier entremêle esquisses jetées à la main, dessins précis, notes manuscrites, textes imprimés. L'illustration occupe plus d'espace que le texte

Paul Klee's pictorial writing by
Kathryn Porter Aichele(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 381 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Paul Klee's Pictorial Writing examines the artist's appropriation of verbal signs, literary texts, and written scripts in his pictorial works. K. Porter Aichele's study is the first to examine how linguistic symbols function in Klee's work and what they mean. Reconstructing the artist's rich cultural milieu from his diaries, letters, lecture notes, and visual allusions, Aichele shows how these sources provide the framework for fresh interpretations of works ranging from letter forms in pictorial settings to invented visual texts

Paul Klee and the decorative in modern art by
Jenny Anger(
Book
)
2 editions published in 2004 in English and held by 353 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"One of the goals of modernism was the representation of the essence of art, or pure form. In this study, Jenny Anger examines Paul Klee's attitude toward and use of the decorative. She shows that the decorative, including its gendered associations, significantly informed Klee's art production, his exhibiting strategies, his critical response, and the discursive construction of his work for public consumption. She also compares his work with that of another major modernist, Henri Matisse, to confirm the critical role of the decorative in modernism. Finally, Anger explores the relevance of the decorative for contemporary, and especially women, artists."--Jacket
