River Construction Landscape
1924
Imagine a landscape viewed through a purple twilight, where ghostly white trees and geometric houses seem to float on a dark river. This is Paul Klee’s *Flussbaulandschaft* (River Construction Landscape), created in 1924 while he was teaching at the revolutionary Bauhaus school. Klee was a violinist first and a painter second, so he approached art like music—layering colors and scratchy lines to create a visual rhythm. The rough, woven texture of the surface and the etched white lines give it the feel of a secret map or a musical score for a dream.
