A philosophical perspective on the relation between Paul Klees art and his thought. The artist Paul Klee once said that art does not reproduce the visible but makes visible. In Klees Mirror John Sallis examines the various ways in which Klees art makes visible things that ordinarily go unseen. He shows how Klees art is like a mirror capable of reflecting not only the surface appearance of things, but also their hidden depth and the cosmic setting to which they belong. Tracing the relation of Klees paintings and drawings to music, poetry, and philosophy, Sallis also takes account of Klees own extensive writings, both theoretical and autobiographical, and of the incisive lectures that he presented while teaching at the Bauhaus. Featuring large, high-quality reproductions, Klees Mirror shows how the painters theories both are exemplified in his art and, in turn, are enhanced and extended by what his art achieves and reveals. Klees Mirror is a masterful interpretation of one of the most inspiring artists in the Western tradition, one that will surely capture the interest of philosophers, art history scholars, as well as students and lovers of Paul Klees works. Alejandro A. Vallega, author of Sense and Finitude: Encounters at the Limits of Language, Art, and the Political Paul Klee mused in his diary that his art was a kind of mirror whose aim was not to reflect the surface but rather to penetrate inside such that, for example, his human faces are truer than the real ones. In his exquisite new study, Sallis takes up the complex question of Klees mysterious mirrors. On the one hand, Klees works themselves are mirrors of truth, making visible, Sallis tells us, what otherwise remains invisible, reflecting what lies beyond the visible surface of things. On the other hand, Klees own theoretical writings are extraordinarily articulate and they uniquely mirror his artistic work. Klees paintings are not, however, illustrations or representations of Klees ideas. The mirror of Klees painting demands a new kind of reflective writing. Finally, there is the mirror of Sallis own work, deftly navigating between Klees brilliant double mirror play, producing in turn a startlingly and innovative mode of writing that twists free of the dualism of sensibility and intelligibility.

The book offers a new, original look at the great European modernist Paul Klee and the interplay of word and image in the work he produced after WWI, when the European avant-garde was at its most adamant. Bourneuf asks: why was it that Klee immersed himself in crossings of image and text at the same time that so much avant-garde art focused fiercely on the visual? She proposes that Klee created forms that hover between the pictorial and the written to provoke the viewer to look slowly and contemplatively, a mode of viewing the artist saw as both analogous to reading and threatened by new technological media such as film, mass printing, telephones, and radio. Bourneuf demonstrates how Klee s concern for the literary aspects of visual art is both the motive for and the means of his ironic play with modernist art theories and practices."

Paul Klee experienced his 1914 trip to Tunisia as a major breakthrough for his art: ÒColor and I are one,Ó he famously wrote. ÒI am a painter.Ó Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia sets the scene for KleeÕs breakthrough with a close study of the parallel voyage undertaken in 1904Ð5 by Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele MŸnter, who would later become Klee's friends. This artist couple, then at an early stage in their celebrated careers, produced a rich body of painting and photography known only to specialists. Paul KleeÕs 1914 trip with August Macke and Louis Moilliet, in contrast, is a vaunted convergence of cubism and the exotic. Roger Benjamin refigures these two seminal voyages in terms of colonial culture and politics, the fabric of ancient Tunisian cities, visual ethnography, and the tourist photograph. The book looks closely at the cities of Tunis, Sousse, Hammamet, and Kairouan to flesh out a profound confrontation between European high modernism and the wealth of Islamic lifeways and architecture. Kandinsky and Klee in Tunisia offers a new understanding of how the European avant-garde was formed in dialogue with cultural difference.

"The German painter Paul Klee (1879-1940) has become one of today's most popular artists. Ninety works by Klee--including drawings, watercolors, and oils, either serious, comical, capricious, or dramatic--have recently been given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by one of the postwar era's leading art dealers and collectors, Heinz Berggruen, and are now published together in this volume for the first time. The works in the distinguished Berggruen Klee Collection, now a permanent part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's holdings, span the career of the artist from his student days in Bern in the 1890s to his death in Muralto-Locarno in 1940. All aspects of Klee both as a draftsman and as a painter are illustrated in these ninety works. Paul Klee is not only one of today's most popular artists, but he is also one of the most written about. In an illuminating addition to the vast literature on Klee, Sabine Rewald opens this study with a candid interview with the artist's only son, Felix, which took place in Bern in February 1986. Accompanied by documentary and informal photographs of the Klee family, it gives pointed and witty insights into the artist's private life. It also offers a behind-the-scenes view of the Bauhaus, where Paul Klee taught and where Felix Klee was a student. Most of the ninety works in the Berggruen Klee Collection are reproduced in full-page colorplates, and each one is accompanied by an extensive entry. These entries incorporate biographical information and quotations from Klee's letters, the latter as yet unpublished in English. The book includes an extensive chronology and a bibliography." -- Provided by publisher

When you need something stolen, smuggled, or made to disappear, Kek Huuygens is your man In the aftermath of World War II, young couples stroll through Brussels, but they do not speak of love. Instead, they might talk about papers, passports, or relocation—and most of all, they speak of currency. As Europe rebuilds itself, fortunes are made and lost in hours, and money is worthless until it is converted into dollars. When Kek Huuygens, a Polish-born smuggler lurking among the Brussels cocktail set, hears that a wealthy industrialist is desperate to convert $5 million of Belgian francs into American currency, he offers to help. For $1 million, he will liberate the man’s fortune. All the magnate has to do is let Kek steal it. In these seven elegant short stories, Kek battles customs agents and police across Western Europe. For this dapper Pole, there is no object too large to smuggle—so long as the price is right.

Contextual analogies reveal that Klee matched wits with Christian Morgenstern, rose to the provocations of Kurt Schwitters, and gave new form to the Surrealists' "exquisite corpses." By the end of his life Klee discovered his own poetic voice in alphabet drawings that read as anagrams and pictorial poems that challenge conventional distinctions between verbal and visual forms of expression." "Paul Klee, Poet/Painter is a case study in the reciprocity of poetry and painting in early modernist practice. It introduces readers to a little-known facet of Klee's creative activity and re-evaluates his contributions to a modernist aesthetic."--BOOK JACKET.
