Item Description |
"Wilhelm Hausenstein dedicated the original edition of this book, published in 1921, to his wife Margot" -- Inset page. "The impressions which Paul Klee collected on his journey to Tunisia in 1914, and especially to the city of Kairouan, were of fundamental significance: 'Color and I are one. I am a painter.' A few years later Wilhelm Haustein, one of the most important art historians, art critics, and art and travel writers of his time, placed his friend Paul Klee at the center of his book "Kairuan" and was thus one of the first people to recognize the artist's genius. This English edition, which opens with a foreword by Kenneth Croose Parry, the son-in-law of Wilhelm Haustein, combines Haustein's original text with important works by Klee. It grants an incomparable insight into the life of Paul Klee as an artist within the context of European art and society" - Back cover. |
