V životě: Paul Klee
Celý životopis1921–1931
The preliminary course on the “theory of form”
Klee developed a preliminary course in the “theory of form” that began with the “point as the beginning of all beginnings”, moving through space, and the “cosmic egg” from which line, spiral, square, circle and cube are born. Students listened to lectures illustrated with Klee’s own abstract watercolours and then painted their own, trying to express movement, balance, flight and tension.
1923
Galka Scheyer and the “Blue Four”
At the instigation of Galka Scheyer the “Blue Four” was formed — Klee, Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger and Alexej von Jawlensky. Scheyer subsequently organised exhibitions of their work in the United States.
