무제 (머리) by Paul Klee, 1934

Meet this giant, pale egg-head with a shy, blushing cheek. Paul Klee, a key figure in Expressionism, created this abstract portrait in 1934 during a turbulent time when he was dismissed from his teaching post by the Nazi regime. That sharp, angular brown line cutting through the white oval is a perfect example of his famous philosophy that 'a line is a dot that went for a walk.' Klee was deeply inspired by children's art, believing that unlearning adult rules was the secret to true creativity, resulting in this dreamy, simplified face that seems to stare right into your soul.
