Twee kinderen by Paul Klee, 1929

Paul Klee famously declared he wanted to draw like a child, and this 1929 sketch proves he nailed it! Titled *Zwei Kinder* (Two Children), it features two scribbly figures—a smaller one clutching a ball and a taller, gangly companion holding a basket. While it looks like a playful doodle, this Expressionist piece was created by a master theorist teaching at the Bauhaus school. Klee believed that a simple line was just 'a dot that went for a walk,' and here he lets those lines wander freely to capture the charming, awkward essence of growing up.
