The Mask with the Little Flag 1925

"The Mask with the Little Flag" (1925) by Paul Klee is a striking example of his signature style of abstract art. The composition is dominated by a red and white mask-like figure, with a small black flag atop its head. The eyes, nose, and mouth are represented by geometric shapes and the artist's use of soft, hazy lines creates a sense of movement and depth. The overall effect is one of whimsicality and mystery. This work exemplifies Klee's unique blend of geometric abstraction, symbolism, and a sense of childlike wonder.
