Paul Klee

"A line is a dot that went for a  walk."  

Paul Klee is a Swiss and German painter whose highly individual style is best known by an often childlike perspective and spidery hieroglyph-like symbols. Klee was heavily influenced by the expressionist, cubist and surrealist movements. Klee taught at the Bauhaus for ten years, where he became close with Wassily Kandinsky built a legacy teaching color mixing and theory.
