Landscape 1905

Paul Klee made this painting, "Landscape," with oil paint, and you can see how he builds up the image through layers. Klee’s got this way of making a painting feel like it’s breathing. Look at the way the colours meet; they're not fighting, but sort of nudging each other. It's like they're having a conversation, a bit like the colours in a Bonnard, but weirder. See that big, yellow hill in the foreground? It’s almost like a warm hug, pulling you into the scene. The paint is applied in soft, fuzzy strokes, and underneath there’s this pinky-purple layer peeking through around the edges. Klee reminds us that art isn't about perfection; it’s about the journey, the questions, and the sheer joy of seeing what happens when you put colour next to colour.
