Passeggiata
1915
Paul Klee famously said that drawing was just 'taking a line for a walk,' and this 1915 sketch, titled 'Spaziergang' (German for 'Stroll'), is the perfect visual proof. Created during the Expressionist movement amidst the chaos of World War I, this delicate scene features two elongated, ghostly figures and a small animal companion wandering together. The figures are reduced to their absolute simplest forms—almost like sophisticated stick figures—yet they convey a sense of rhythmic movement. It’s a whimsical, peaceful escape from reality, showing how Klee found magic in the barest of lines.
