Plant growth, Paul Klee
Paul Klee
Germany, 1879-1940
Most of the time we take art as a refuge, escape route or the way to beautify reality, it is to let ourselves be carried away by emotion and the instrument, without anything else. As a coarse to the routine and immerse yourself in another world where the rule is simply to drain the chaos in your head, but even so you do not feel that it works, the ideas are not clear and it is only a momentary release.
To help you with that, today I bring Paul Klee, the artist who gave art another pedagogy and presents it to you as a method to consciously create, making you understand art as a visionary instrument applied to everything that surrounds you.
Paul Klee, known as the father of abstract art came from a musicians family , sounds and rhythm were the main expressions of art, he and the violin had a great relationship, standing out early, however it is in the painting where he found the expression and the necessary ease to experiment and explore ideas.
Thanks to this, we can say that Klee is so avant-garde that he does not classify himself in any of the branches of painting, becoming more and more alive, due to his constant composition between reality, his vision, knowledge and way of expressing all that together through abstract art.
In his work, color, rhythm, nature, construction and movement are seen as the basis. It is like his knowledge as a musician turned visually in his paintings, but not in a violent way, with a fluid composition that leads him to admire it attentively.
Beside music, nature was also inspiration and the key in the development of Klee as an artist and teacher. For him to recreate the growth of the plants, the marine world and everything that surrounded him was the method to consciously create, intervene what you see with your style.
He invited to observe each system and emulate it with your art, in these times I imagine Klee saying something like: How do you see the process of the rain? Paint it, recrea it. How is the birth of a flower for you?
It is emptying that you already know to fill it with a new experience. That is how I interpret the teachings of Paul Klee. That's why, beyond making a biography of him, I wanted to share his method and encourage you to practice it.
