The Goldfish 1925

"The Goldfish" (1925) by Paul Klee exemplifies his distinctive style of "magical realism." The artwork depicts a vibrant yellow fish, with a red fin and eye, swimming against a dark background. Klee's signature linework defines the fish's form, while a sea of blue, green and black lines, resembling underwater flora, creates a sense of depth and movement. This painting is a hallmark of Klee's unique artistic language, blending the familiar with the fantastical, and continues to captivate audiences with its whimsical beauty.
