More about this artwork

"The Firmament Above the Temple" (1922) by Paul Klee is a mesmerizing bit of abstraction that captures a mystical and architectural vision. This painting combines soft, glowing rectangles of orange and peach with a dominant array of overlapping greens and blacks. These elements evoke celestial bodies seen in the night sky, with a circle that appears like a full moon and small diamonds that suggest twinkling stars.Klee's skillful use of geometric forms and a restrained but expressive color palette provides a window into an ethereal world, perhaps hinting at the spiritual or cosmic significance of a temple under a vast, infinite universe. The arrangement of shapes creates a layered depth, inviting viewers to contemplate the quiet serenity of the sacred space suggested by the title.

Paul Klee was a Swiss-born German artist. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually deeply explored color theory, writing about it extensively; his lectures Writings on Form and Design Theory (Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre), published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are held to be as important for modern art as Leonardo da Vinci's A Treatise on Painting for the Renaissance.
