Zaubergarten
1926
Paul Klee created this dreamlike scene in 1926 while teaching at the famous Bauhaus school, where he encouraged students to see the world through a child's eyes. The piece is packed with quirky characters, like a grinning moon face and a green figure nestled in a cup, all set against a rough, textured background that looks almost like an ancient wall. Klee often mixed sand and other materials into his paint to give his works this unique, gritty feel, making the 'Magic Garden' feel like a discovered artifact from a fantasy world.
