Robert Kudielka. . .a professor of aesthetics and philosophy of art in Berlin, emphasizes the complexity of Klees vision. Klee, he believes, was working on different levels simultaneously, weaving many threads into a tapestry. Kudielka draws attention to Klees concept of creation as an open-ended process. He draws on the artists teachings to illustrate this: The work of art, Klee told his students, is first of all, genesis; it is never experienced purely as a result. Klee did not understand creation as a purely subjective process. On the contrary, he first directed his students attention to the infinite subtlety of tonal shades in nature. Klee saw both nature and art as a relationship of opposites, not as a static balance but in a unstable, dynamic equilibrium, as Kudielka points out. Only, Klee said, when one and two are set harshly against each other does three become necessary, in turn, to transform this harshness into harmony. Klees emphasis on the unfinished, on the process of creation rather than simply its outcome was and remains a challenge to dogma and a formal approach to things which looks only at the accomplished fact. more: aworldtowin.net/msf/21stcenturyart/reviews/klee.htm Paul Klee Kreuze und Säulen / Crosses and Columns 1931 watercolor on paper mounted on card 38 x 53 cm Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Munich, Germany
