Klee

Musical aspects of Klee's art
Paul Klee's artistic work abounds with references to music. The titles of many of his works refer 
directly to music, for instance alter Geiger, 1939, 310 (W 10) (Old violinist); Sangerin der 
komischen Oper, 1927, 10 (The singer of the comic opera); Pastorale (Rhythmen), 1927, 20 (K 10) 
(Pastorale Ð rhythms); Im Bachschen Stil, 1919, 196 (In the style of Bach).

Music was one of the decisive criteria of content and design in his oeuvre, his artistic ideas, 
and his educational and theoretical writings. He introduced to fine arts such terms as polyphony 
and rhythm, terms essentially musical in origin.

Klee's involvement with music culminated in his interpretation of polyphonic (i.e. many-voiced) 
composition methods in his paintings. By overlaying different areas of colours and allowing them 
to intermingle he created polyphonic picture structures of a higher order which certainly allowed 
free interpretation as (picture) scores. Such works include Fuge in rot, 1921, 69 (Fugue in red); 
Landschaft in A dur, 1939, 91 (K 11) (Landscape in A major), and Polyphon gefasstes Weiss, 1930, 
140 (X 10) (White framed polyphonically).
