Lichtung E 1930

Paul Klee made this, Lichtung E, sometime around 1930. It looks like he used watercolour, maybe with some ink, on paper. Looking at this piece, I'm struck by its delicate balance. Klee's known for this kind of whimsical abstraction, right? It’s like he's inviting us into his own private language. I'm really drawn to the colour palette: the subtle greens and blues overlaid with those structured shapes. It almost feels like he’s mapping a landscape, but one that exists more in the realm of thought than in physical space. I can imagine Klee, brush in hand, carefully plotting each line and hue. He's searching for a way to capture a feeling or an idea, rather than just representing what he sees. I see Klee working through his own questions and uncertainties. In the end it becomes a shared conversation about the nature of seeing and understanding, one that still resonates today.
