Moved the most recent version to the Talk: page. It seems rather inferior to the previous version by Camambert. It can possibly be merged somehow in future though. Kpjas Sun, 29 Dec 2002 18:35:20 +0100
Paul Klee was born on the December 18 1879 in Münchenbuchsee near Bern. His father was organist and music teacher at the local school. His mother was said to be a gifted singer, who soon started to encourage her sons musical ambitions.
Klee became a good violinist and also showed an early talent for writing. After getting his school-leaving certificate, at the age of 19, Klee moved to
Munich in the year of 1898, where he first started to learn at the private art school of Heinrich Knirr, a member of the Munich secession.
Later he studied at the academy as one of the students of the famous Franz von Stuck.
After his trip to Italy in the year 1901 he started his first independent works figured etchings. His stay in Milan, Genoa, Rome and Naples with its Mediterranean colours, its liveliness and also Italian architecture influenced Klee a lot.
In 1906 Klee married Lily Stumpf. The couple moved to Munich to exhibit his etchings at the secession. One year later their son Felix was born.
The following years Paul Klee went into works by Goya,
William Blake and
Aubrey Beardsley. Klee produced a number of black-white prints and drawings.
Artists like Cezanne, Matisse and especially Van Gogh had a lot of influence on
him. In 1911 Klee joined the artists` group Der Blaue Reiter, together with
Wassily Kandinsky,
Gabriele Münter,
Franz Marc,
Alfred Kubin, Alexej Jawlensky, Marianne Werefkin and August Macke.
Paul Klee especially showed a lot of interest in childrens paintings and folk art.
He showed his works at the second exhibition of Der Blaue Reiter.
On the 5th of April Klee left Germany to move to
Tunisia. The oriental landscape, colours and clothes fascinated and influenced him.
During the first World War the painter found his friends spread all over Europe.
On the 11th of March also Klee was called up. After the end of the war he moved back to Munich and started a lot of oil paintings.
On the 25th of November in 1920 Paul Klee got his calling for the builders house in Weimar. There he got his own studio and gave lectures in creation and shaping. Due to this job his estimation rose. Everywhere in Germany and also other countries Klee` s exhibitions of his works took place.
During the Twenties Klee wrote works about modern art and the basics of his teaching.
In December 1928 the artist again left Germany to move to
Egypt which again influenced his paintings a lot.
In 1931 he started to work as art teacher at the academy of
Düsseldorf.
When Hitler came to power, Klee had to leave the country.
The exhibition Degenerate Art in 1937 included seventeen works by Paul Klee.
He finally stayed in Bern, moved to Italy and
France and met some of his old friends again. Paul Klee died in 1940 due to a skin disease.

In no source that I know of does he appear as a jewish painter. His father was german and his mother swiss. But I could be wrong, so I ask anyone to show me a source that proves that he was in fact jewish. User:Mistico
I consider myself a relative authority on Klee, and within the 15 books on him I have in my library and various visits to his collections around the world, his heritage is always cited as German and Swiss. Never have I seen it listed as Jewish. He was Swiss and German. However, he does use the star of David in a number of paintings as a letimotif, and he was definitely an early enemy of the Nazis, having been forced to flee Germany before the infamous 1937 Nazi Degenerate Art Show. Though he was featured in this showing alongside many of his close Jewish friends, the show was not limited to Jewish artists, and included works by many groups of people the Nazi's wished to malign.
Thank you for rebuilding this page kpjas. Why on earth would someone erase the whole thing and write 'poopie'? a Nazi perhaps?!
Yes, maybe a Nazi.

I think Paul Klee is a very fine artist!

Klee's quote regarding his attempts to effectively use color ("a long struggle lies in store for me in this field of color”) is used twice in the article, in both the 'early life and training' and 'early career and marriage' sections. The first use is in relation to his trip to Italy (1901-1902), while the second appears to correspond with his early watercolor landscapes (both 1913). It also looks like it was taken from two different sources, as the first use has a 'that' included in the quotation marks (could just be someone's typing error though) and the second use has some more words attached to it. Using the quote twice is a bit boring, and creates confusion as to when it was actually said/written... can anyone find a source for the correct date/fix the article? Many thanks, an unregistered wiki enthusiast. 67.222.201.194 ( talk) 21:54, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
...another thing. The article mentions Klee studying under someone named Heinrich Knirr. I'm currently doing a research type project on Paul Klee, and all of my print sources that deal with his childhood also mention Knirr, but most refer to him as "E. Knirr" (except one book, which spells out his first name as "Edwin"). Neither Edwin nor Heinrich Knirr have a wiki page to link to, and the information in the article now doesn't have a citation; so I'm not sure where "Heinrich Knirr" came from. It could simply be that Mr. Knirr sometimes went by his middle name or something, I'll try to look into it. 67.222.201.194 ( talk) 02:05, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
okay, so after some basic google and wiki searching, it appears there were two Knirrs: Heinrich Knirr, a painter with a a private art school; and Erwin Knirr, a painter with a private art school. (I could find no Edwin Knirr, so that one print source of mine is probably wrong.) ...hrrmph. Heinrich was more of a "traditional/acceptable to the Nazi Party" kind of painter, so I suspect Klee studied with Erwin... but that's just a guess (and OR), so I don't know. I suppose I'll try to find a good source specifically saying who Klee studied with. 67.222.201.194 ( talk) 02:27, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
meh, google scholar isn't being very helpful either. Klee's diary, which looked promising, only uses "Knirr," with no first name (it uses "Frau" a few times, but that's German for "Mister," right?). Some other results I glanced over mention Heinrich, Erwin, and "Hermann" as Knirr's first name. the plot thickens... and by 'thickens' I mean 'becomes exhasperating,' ugh. I think I'll just leave it as is for now and research more later; I need to finish writing about the rest of his education. 67.222.201.194 ( talk) 02:44, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
frau is german for "woman" or "Mrs" so "Frau Knirr" would refer to a "Mrs Knirr",, (and Erwin is a male name). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.230.191.192 ( talk) 11:33, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

When is User:Tomcat7/Sandbox7 going to be incorporated into this article? If this review does not start to move forward again soon, I will have to fail it.--
Just going to chime in here with the newly added chunk of prose that needs fixes.
"Some of Klee's early preserved children's drawings, to which his grandmother encouraged, were listed on his catalogue raisonné." - Wouldn't it be childhood drawings? Why do we need the comment about his grandmothers encouragement?
"]]. A total of 19 etchings were produced during the Bern years; ten of these were made between 1903 and 1905 in the cycle "Inventionen" (Inventions)," - The sentence seems to be disjoined from the context, but that's just my opinion.
"Klee's solitary early work ended when he met in 1910 graphic artist and illustrator Alfred Kubin, who inspired Klee." Prose issues. 'when he met' is out of place. But the end is also awkward and feels lamely attached on and is again subjective.
"During his twelve-day educational trip to Tunis in April 1914 Klee produced with Macke and Moilliet watercolour paintings, which implement the strong light and colour stimulus of the North African countryside in the fashion of Paul Cézanne and Robert Delaunays' cubistic form concepts." Should be at least two sentences here, an extra comma or two and a bit of clean up for clarity. It just runs together.
"Under the impression of his military service he created the painting Trauerblumen (Velvetbells) in 1917, which, with his graphical signs, vegetal and phantastic shapes, is a forerunner of his future works, harmonically combining graphic, colour and object." Where did this come from? I do not believe that Tomcat7 wrote this.
"In the 1918 watercolour painting Einst dem Grau der Nacht enttaucht, a compositional implemented poem, possible written by Klee, he incorporated letters in small, in terms of colour separated squares, cutting off the first verse from the second one with silver paper." This is about right... again bad prose.
"Here, Klee did not lean on Delaunay's colours, but on Marc's, although the picture content of both painters does not correspond with each other." Sounds a bit original research without a source when the they do not 'correspond with each other'.
" After being named defamatory in the Munich exhibtion " Entartete Kunst", the painting was later bought by the Buchholz Gallery, New York, and then transferred in 1939 to the Museum of Modern Art." First part is confusing. 'named defamatory?'
"The watercolour painting appears at a first glance childish, but it allows more interpretations. The picture can be interpreted as a critic by Klee, who shows through denaturation of the birds, that the world technization heist the creatures' self-determination" Both sentences need prose work, but the last part is going to confuse just about any reader.
" The self-portrait in the same year – with the programmatic title von der Liste gestrichen (removed from the list) – provides information about his feeling after losing professorship." Bad metaphor here with 'programmatic title', many interpretations.
"The abstract portrait was painted in dark colours and shows closed eyes and compressed lips, while on the back part of his head there is a large "X", symbolizing that his art was no longer worth in Germany." The last portion after "X", has prose issues.
I'll stop now, but that is just a quick read through of errors I found with the prose. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 18:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
To paraphrase, Klee's works post-1922 are not in the public domain in the U.S. because their copyright in the U.S. was restored by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act when they were still copyrighted in their source countries on the URAA date (January 1, 1996).
The copyrighted works cannot be displayed here for that reason, so I will remove them once this is understood. Hekerui ( talk) 13:47, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
The German works post-1922 are problematic per the discussion above and I removed them. Hekerui ( talk) 12:02, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
The second paragraph under Mature Years notes that "Kandinsky joined the staff and resumed his friendship with Klee," but there was no previous mention of this friendship.

Rated it as a start b/c it's definitely not a stub, and definitely not a B. Discusses his position in the world of art, but light on the personal bio data. I also rated it as a High priority b/c Klee was very important not just for his central position in the Expressionist aesthetic, but because of his role as a visible and notable detractor of Nazism and Hitler.

Hi. My first contribution to Wikipedia! I have no intention of actually becoming an editor, so I'm just posting this for whoever would like to make use of it.
The section Musical Interpretations has the line "Other works are Abstraktes Terzett (Abstract Trio), Little Blue Devil, Zwitscher-Maschine (Twittering Machine), Arab Village, Ein unheimlicher Moment (An Eerie Moment) and Pastorale." These are sections 2 through 7, in the correct order, of the Gunther Schuller piece mentioned earlier in the same paragraph ("Gunther Schuller with Sieben Studien über Klee'sche Bilder (Seven Studies about Klee Pictures) in the years 1959/60"). The missing section 1 is Antike Harmonien (Antique Harmonies).
Also, there's no reason to give the name of the Schuller piece in German, since he was an American composer (as mentioned in the Wikipedia page on him) and composed the piece in the US, with an English title -- which, correctly, is Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee. The complete seven sections, in the correct order and with the correct English name, are given in many performances on YouTube (and elsewhere), for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUmYkbCchWg. (I put this just for anyone who wants to check. Obviously this is not a source ... especially since it probably violates copyright.)

"The abstract portrait was painted in dark colours and shows closed eyes and compressed lips, while on the back part of his head there is a large "X", symbolizing that his art was no longer worth in Germany." The last portion after "X", has prose issues.
I'll stop now, but that is just a quick read through of errors I found with the prose. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 18:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
To paraphrase, Klee's works post-1922 are not in the public domain in the U.S. because their copyright in the U.S. was restored by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act when they were still copyrighted in their source countries on the URAA date (January 1, 1996).
The copyrighted works cannot be displayed here for that reason, so I will remove them once this is understood. Hekerui ( talk) 13:47, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
The German works post-1922 are problematic per the discussion above and I removed them. Hekerui ( talk) 12:02, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
The second paragraph under Mature Years notes that "Kandinsky joined the staff and resumed his friendship with Klee," but there was no previous mention of this friendship. It would be nice to have this fleshed out earlier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.166.173 ( talk) 13:12, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Rated it as a start b/c it's definitely not a stub, and definitely not a B. Discusses his position in the world of art, but light on the personal bio data. I also rated it as a High priority b/c Klee was very important not just for his central position in the Expressionist aesthetic, but because of his role as a visible and notable detractor of Nazism and Hitler.

Hi. My first contribution to Wikipedia! I have no intention of actually becoming an editor, so I'm just posting this for whoever would like to make use of it.
The section Musical Interpretations has the line "Other works are Abstraktes Terzett (Abstract Trio), Little Blue Devil, Zwitscher-Maschine (Twittering Machine), Arab Village, Ein unheimlicher Moment (An Eerie Moment) and Pastorale." These are sections 2 through 7, in the correct order, of the Gunther Schuller piece mentioned earlier in the same paragraph ("Gunther Schuller with Sieben Studien über Klee'sche Bilder (Seven Studies about Klee Pictures) in the years 1959/60"). The missing section 1 is Antike Harmonien (Antique Harmonies).
Also, there's no reason to give the name of the Schuller piece in German, since he was an American composer (as mentioned in the Wikipedia page on him) and composed the piece in the US, with an English title -- which, correctly, is Seven Studies on Themes of Paul Klee. The complete seven sections, in the correct order and with the correct English name, are given in many performances on YouTube (and elsewhere), for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUmYkbCchWg. (I put this just for anyone who wants to check. Obviously this is not a source ... especially since it probably violates copyright.)

The de.wiki article Paul Klee says he was simply German and cites this article. Why is he described as "Swiss German" here? Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 12:10, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
