Komiker 1904

"Komiker," created in 1904 by Paul Klee, is a small etching and aquatint that depicts a man with a monstrous mask covering half his face, hinting at the duality of human nature. The graphic lines and shadowy textures of the work contribute to its unsettling and somewhat grotesque aesthetic. Klee's style, drawing on German Expressionism and symbolism, is notable for its use of simple forms and suggestive details. This artwork is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection and is considered a significant piece of Klee's early career.
