Animals in an Enclosure 1938

Paul Klee’s *Animals in an Enclosure* from 1938 depicts a group of red-brown, abstract horses within a cage-like enclosure composed of thick black lines. The geometric shapes in the work create a sense of confinement and isolation. Klee, known for his experimental and symbolic use of color and form, captures the essence of these animals within their limited space, highlighting the tension between freedom and restriction. The artwork's abstract nature and striking use of color showcase Klee's unique style, a blend of Surrealism and Expressionism. *Animals in an Enclosure* is a testament to Klee's ability to express complex ideas through simple, evocative imagery.
