Costa della Provenza 7 by Paul Klee, 1927

Created in 1927 during his time at the Bauhaus school, Paul Klee’s 'Côte De Provence 7' treats the landscape like a musical composition. The background is a vibrant patchwork of thousands of tiny, dashed brushstrokes in purples, blues, and oranges, creating a rhythmic texture that hums with energy. Over this colorful grid, Klee sketches sharp, angular shapes—triangles and rectangles outlined in brown—that resemble a whimsical, abstract village floating in space. It’s a perfect example of Expressionism, capturing the feeling of the French countryside through geometry rather than realistic detail.
