Paul Klee


Klee is a  Swiss-German painter who's work is mainly influenced by a combinations of the expressionism, cubism and surrealism movements that focus primarily on colour theory to enable his work to stand out and be visually pleasing for example he would use a combination of complementary and split complementary colours in his work, he would also use darker colours to draw attention so some of the brighter colours. during his work he extensively researched colour theory and Form and Design Theory in which he talked about during his lectures the forms and shapes he uses often vary but have a continuous theme in the particular piece ,such as the one displayed in this blog in which he uses cylinders/circles to create an image that resembles multiple spotlights aimed in all directions.. his style of work tends to be very geometric and solid often consisting of blocks of colour with a centre focus that usually is in black, though most of his work is completely abstract he does sometimes use figures of people, objects or animals in his work. personally his work does not  appeal to me because of the abstract cubistic nature of his work but does still use colour theory effectively to draw in the viewer.
