Exotic Garden
1926
Paul Klee’s 'Exotic Garden' looks less like a traditional landscape and more like a woven tapestry from a dream world. Created in 1926 during the height of Expressionism, the piece is built from thousands of tiny, horizontal strokes of color that create a shimmering, rhythmic background. Abstract plants with curling fronds and zigzagging stems pop out against this striped backdrop, looking almost like ancient hieroglyphs come to life. Klee was fascinated by the 'growth' of lines, and here he turns a simple garden into a mysterious, musical composition where nature feels both organic and geometric.
