Bauhaus Lantern Festival
1922
Paul Klee captures the whimsical spirit of the Bauhaus school's famous lantern festival in this lively 1922 sketch, reflecting his unique blend of Expressionism and playful geometry. You can see stylized, almost child-like figures parading with glowing red and yellow lanterns, marching under banners that proudly proclaim 'Laternen Fest Bauhaus.' As a master teacher at the school, Klee often turned simple celebrations into rhythmic dances of shape and color. The date '1922' is playfully scribbled right into one of the lanterns, anchoring this joyful scene in a specific moment of avant-garde history.
