Redgreen and Violet-Yellow Rhythms
1920
Paul Klee treated color like musical notes, composing this vibrant grid of squares and rectangles in 1920. Tiny, almost childlike trees peek out from the geometric blocks, as if nature is playfully reclaiming a colorful, abstract city. Klee taught at the famous Bauhaus school around this time, and this piece perfectly captures his belief that art should be like music—full of rhythm and harmony rather than just realistic representation.
