Motif from Hammamet
1914
Paul Klee's 1914 trip to Tunisia was a total game-changer, leading him to famously declare that 'color and I are one.' This vibrant piece captures that exact epiphany, breaking down the sun-drenched architecture of Hammamet into a playful, patchwork mosaic. Instead of a realistic landscape, we see a rhythmic grid of pinks, blues, and yellows, dotted with little abstract marks that dance across the surface. It feels like a stained-glass window made of pure, joyful light, marking his bold leap into modern abstraction.
