Composition with Figures 1915

"Composition with Figures" is a watercolor painting by Paul Klee, created in 1915, that exemplifies his signature style. The work is characterized by its distinct geometric shapes, vivid colors, and minimalist line work, reminiscent of Klee's fascination with music and its visual representation. The composition features a grid-like structure, with distinct colored squares and rectangles, creating a sense of depth and structure. Klee's use of delicate lines to suggest figures within this geometric framework further enhances the abstract nature of the work, inviting viewers to engage with their own interpretations. This painting, a prime example of Klee's early work, is a testament to his pioneering contributions to Abstract Expressionism.
