Fugue in Red 1921

Paul Klee’s “Fugue in Red” (1921) is a prime example of his abstract style. It depicts an array of geometric shapes and forms layered on a black background. The interplay of color, particularly the shades of red, creates a visual symphony that evokes music. The piece exemplifies Klee’s interest in music, evident in the title, and his unique ability to translate musical ideas into visual form. “Fugue in Red” is currently housed at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland, and is a testament to Klee’s mastery of abstract art.
