Paul Klee: Catalogue Raisonné
Vol 7. 1934 - 1938 Return to Berne
Edited by the Paul Klee Foundation, Museum of Fine Arts, Berne
|
Paul Klee is one of the most significant and best-loved artists of the twentieth century. For the nine volumes of this landmark project, the Paul Klee Foundation in Switzerland researched some 9,800 drawings, prints, watercolours and oil paintings to enable the artist’s complete work to be catalogued and published in its entirety.
Presenting Klee’s œuvre in chronological order, each volume contains an introduction, an explanation of the catalogue system, a German-English glossary, a bibliography and indexes. All of the entries include full reference material, and the vast majority are illustrated. Klee’s own entries from the meticulous catalogue he kept from 1911 until his death in 1940 are also included.
Volume 7
After emigrating to Switzerland in December 1933, Klee settled with his family in Berne. In 1936, serious illness prevented him from producing more than a handful of new drawings, and subsequent works dating from 1937 – some of them characterized by tragic and sombre overtones – can be seen as marking the beginning of Klee’s late style.
Volume 8 'Berne' was released in 2004
