Architecture rouge et verte (dégradé jaune, violet) by Paul Klee, 1922

Paul Klee constructed a visual puzzle here in 1922, stacking blocks of deep crimson, mossy green, and shadowy brown into a grid that feels like a city map drawn by a dreamer. While teaching at the famous Bauhaus school, Klee became fascinated with how colors could create structure just like bricks and mortar. The result is a rhythmic composition where geometric shapes—squares, arches, and rectangles—interlock to form a mysterious, abstract architecture that looks like a stained-glass window designed by a mathematician.
