Foundation by Paul Klee, 1922

Paul Klee’s 'Grundfeste' (Foundation) from 1922 looks like a dreamy architectural blueprint for a city built of air and light. Floating geometric blocks in soft pinks and blues overlap and intersect, creating a delicate structure that feels both solid and weightless. A small, pale sun hovers near the top, while thin lines with dots dangle below like pendulums keeping time. Created during his famous years teaching at the Bauhaus school, Klee treated art like music, building these compositions from simple, rhythmic shapes rather than realistic scenes.
