More about this artwork
Welcome to a glimpse into the abstract world of Paul Klee through his painting "In the Current Six Thresholds" from 1929. This piece is a stunning example of Klee's exploration of color interaction and spatial composition. The painting features methodically arranged horizontal and vertical lines, which form a grid-like pattern. These bands of color dissect the canvas into multiple blocks, each filled with layers of subdued yet richly textured hues.Klee's work here might seem reminiscent of a musical score or a woven textile, with each line suggesting a rhythm or a narrative sequence. The palette employed ranges from deep blues and greens to vibrant oranges and reds, creating a dynamic interplay that seems to pulse with energy. This use of color not only defines spatial boundaries but also evokes different emotional resonances, beckoning the viewer to traverse these imagined "thresholds."The geometric precision, combined with the tactile quality of the paint, invites an intimate viewing experience where each segment offers a new visual encounter. The title "In the Current Six Thresholds" suggests movement and transition, perhaps reflecting Klee’s own journey through the artistic currents of his time.

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.
