Paul Klee
In 1933, PAUL KLEE was dismissed from his post at the Dusseldorf Academy, and forced to' leave. Germany later that year: his paintings were labelled ' degenerate ' by the Nazis. Yet at the same time as the outside world seemed to be closing in, Klee continued his exploration of an inner world of possibilities and potential growth.
An exhibition of Klee's later works opened last week at the Bristol Art Gallery. EDWIN mulLINS looks at this later period of the painter's work.
