'Farbtafel' by Paul Klee!

I adore getting art cards in the mail! Today, I received DE-4612706 from melon_tropic in Germany, following 22 days of travel. It is 'Farbtafel' by Paul Klee. I had seen the pattern and colours before but knew nothing of the artist...now I do! 

DE-4612706 - 'Farbtafel' by Paul Klee

Paul Klee (18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was born in Munchenbuchsee, Switzerland and is considered both a German and a Swiss painter. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was also a student of orientalism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered colour theory and wrote extensively about it. 10,000 paintings are attributed to him.
