Paul Klee: Irony at Work

Exhibition catalogue. Ten essays, chronology, bibliography, catalogue of the exhibition; vividly illustrated throughout in colour; ''I am God,' Paul Klee claimed at the age of twenty-two. Shortly afterwards, he wrote to his fiancee Lily Stumpf that he could now content himself with that beautiful thing 'self-irony' This state of mind endured throughout his life. 'He always had a great taste for satire, for irony, for everything that isn't quite serious', his son Felix later remarked.'
