Fertility Tended To 1933

"Fertility Tended To" is a 1933 watercolor by Paul Klee, a prominent figure in the European avant-garde. The painting exemplifies Klee's signature style, characterized by geometric shapes and a vibrant color palette. The artwork is composed of a grid of small squares, each filled with a unique color, creating a mosaic-like effect. The squares are arranged in a seemingly random order, contributing to the abstract and whimsical nature of the piece. It's a testament to Klee's experimental approach to painting, embracing abstract expressionism and challenging conventional notions of artistic representation. The title suggests themes of growth, cultivation, and perhaps even life itself. "Fertility Tended To" is currently housed in the Städel Museum.
