Legend of the Nile 1937

"Legend of the Nile" (1937) by Swiss-German artist Paul Klee is a vibrant abstract painting composed of geometric shapes and symbols. The work is characterized by its bold use of color, particularly blue and brown, alongside fragmented shapes that suggest a narrative related to the Nile River and its legendary history. Klee's signature style of incorporating stylized figures and symbols within a flat, patterned surface is evident in this piece. The painting exemplifies Klee's exploration of symbolic imagery, evoking a sense of mystery and ancient cultures.
