Comedy 1921

Editor: This is Paul Klee’s "Comedy," an intriguing piece from the Tate. It’s hard to put my finger on what materials he used, but the earthy tones and simplified figures are really striking. What stands out to you? Curator: Considering Klee’s engagement with Bauhaus weaving workshops, I see the materials and processes used as key. This piece reflects a deep understanding of the interplay between texture, color, and form, almost like he’s weaving paint. How do you think the production of this "Comedy" relates to the burgeoning industrialization of art during the early 20th century? Editor: That’s a great question. Thinking about the materials informs the message. Thank you. Curator: My pleasure!
