Paul Klee: Catalogue Raisonné
Vol 8. 1939 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 8
By 1939 Klee's annual output of new works had reached levels similar to those of the years preceding his serious illness. This would, however, prove to be his last productive year, which included notably a series of 'Angel' paintings and works with daemonic elements, suggesting a higher kind of reality and his realization that he had not long to live.
