New Angel 1920

Paul Klee's "New Angel" (1920) is a quintessential example of his distinct style, known for its geometric shapes and whimsical figures. The artwork depicts a stylized angel-like figure with a prominent head, a slender body composed of angular lines, and outstretched arms that seem to be in a state of prayer or offering. Executed in a loose, sketchy manner, the lines are both delicate and confident, suggesting a movement between abstraction and representation. The overall effect is one of wonder and mystery, inviting viewers to interpret the symbolic meanings of the figure and its gestures.
