The Light and So Much Else 1931

Paul Klee made this artwork, "The Light and So Much Else", with all these coloured triangles and diamond shapes; you can imagine him piecing it all together like a mosaic, maybe even singing to himself while he's doing it. I think Klee must have been fascinated by the idea of seeing – like how light bounces off things, how colours change depending on what's around them, and how our eyes play tricks on us. Look how he uses these overlapping shapes to create depth and movement. It feels like the whole painting is breathing. And that one yellow eye peeking out at you! The way he puts everything together reminds me of how we make sense of the world, bit by bit. What do you think? All these different colours and shapes, talking to each other across time.
