Paul Klee in Tate

One of the the interwar artists whose 17 art peaces were included in "Degenerated Art Exhibition", but at that time he was already in Bern. Paul Klee was admired by Germans because his abstraction and by French because his surrealism. In this exhibition you can see both sides of his work. He worked mainly in small scales, very detailed watercolored drawings. His surrealistic work remind me in line Miró and sometimes Picasso in solid color spaces. I am very much into his surreal work like "Exotic River Landscape" (1921) - find a pianist!, but even thou some of abstract drawing are very inspirational, like Steps which I have't found picture of - there are abstraction stripes, however they are lazily running into perspective point somewhere out of canvas - this one was for me masterpiece of putting together abstraction and real ruled word. The good moment of exhibition is the final black wall as Klee used to have in his studio to see final works. Is it strange, the background color which he counted on was black, but all his work is used to exhibited in white spaces.
