Blauwe nacht
1937
Paul Klee painted this moody, geometric dreamscape in 1937, a year that brought him a fatal diagnosis and persecution by the Nazis, who labeled his art 'degenerate.' Despite the heavy circumstances, the canvas is a vibrant symphony of blues—ranging from deep teal to soft lavender—broken up by bold black lines that look like a stained-glass window shattering into a cityscape. It captures his late style perfectly, where forms became simpler and darker, yet still retained that magical, musical quality he was famous for.
