Tannenwald (Original Title) 1914

Paul Klee's 1914 watercolor painting, "Tannenwald," is a prime example of his abstract style, showcasing his unique approach to depicting nature. Using fragmented lines and geometric shapes, Klee creates a visual language that evokes the feeling of a dense forest. The vibrant colors, from deep purples to earthy browns, add depth and energy to the composition, conveying a sense of movement and light filtering through the trees. This artwork, housed in the Städel Museum, remains a testament to Klee's masterful ability to translate the natural world into a captivating abstract experience.
