Paul Klee

“Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet.”

“Color has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me forever... Color and I are one. I am a painter.”

“To paint well is simply this: to put the right color in the right place.”

“Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.”

“Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.”

“The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.”

“A drawing is simply a line going for a walk.”

“Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in their having it.”

“Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn.”

“The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression.”

“A line is a dot that went for a walk.”

“One eye sees, the other feels.”

“Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view.”

“The painter who is called upon to be a poet must be able to unite the real and the unreal.”
