View into the Fertile Country

We've been huge fans of Paul Klee for the past few years. Today, thanks to the Städel Museum, we can present his work from their collection.  Enjoy!  :)

“I painted a landscape resembling the view from the wild mountains of the Valley of the Kings into the cultivated land,” Klee wrote in a letter to his wife in 1932, after he had finished the painting. It had been three years since he visited Egypt, but his journey had left lasting impressions. Ancient Egypt’s lifeline, the Nile River, flows in a wavy line in the foreground. Buildings are represented by geometric shapes, behind which rows of multicolored horizontal stripes create an illusion of fields along the banks of the Nile. Egypt’s green and fertile land extends all the way to the horizon.

We hope to offer you a print of Paul Klee's works. Right now, unfortunately, we don't have it in stock, but you can check the rest of our superb-high quality prints in DailyArt Prints shop here.  :)  You will find some abstract art there too!

P.S. Paul Klee was the master of portraying the Autumn spirit. Have a look at his Autumn paintings here!
