Fright of a Girl 1922

"Fright of a Girl" (1922) by Paul Klee is a watercolor painting that exemplifies the artist's signature style of combining abstract forms with representational elements. The figure is simplified to its essence, with a large, bulbous head and a small, stylized body. The use of color is muted, with washes of blue and gray dominating the background, while the figure is rendered in pale pink and brown. This haunting yet playful depiction evokes a sense of unease and childhood innocence, characteristic of Klee's artistic vision.
