1933
Paul Klee, a master of Expressionism, created this eerie, skeletal beast in 1933, a year that marked a dark turning point as the Nazis forced him to flee Germany. The creature looks like a bull constructed from jagged, bone-like fragments, carrying a small, crown-wearing figure that resembles a grim jester or a mythological minotaur holding a staff. Klee's style shifted dramatically during this period, moving from whimsical colors to somber, heavy lines and reddish-brown tones that reflected the political turmoil of the time. It's a haunting vision of power and decay, signed simply 'Klee' in the bottom right corner.
