This book offers an account of the interplay between the visible and the legible in Klee's works from the 1910s and 1920s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"By far the historically most thorough and perceptive investigation of the role of reading and writing in Klee's work, this study is an excellent contribution to Klee scholarship and certainly the best book on him available today. Bourneuf introduces a significant number of little-known passages from Klee's own writings or early criticism into the discussion, and her interpretations of individual works are masterfully crafted.\"  -Ralph Ubl, University of Basel  \"Klee continues to fascinate us as a painter, printmaker, and draftsman, but we are also drawn to his activities as a teacher, theorist, and writer. Bourneuf has provided a wonderfully provocative and nuanced reading that highlights the sometimes ambiguous and even ambivalent tension that arose for Klee at the intersection of these activities. This is a sophisticated work that contributes to the scholarship on Klee, the history of abstraction, and the historiography of Modernism as well as the critical issues that frame image making\/writing and reading\/seeing.\"  -Anna Sigridur Arnar, Minnesota State University Moorhead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments   Note on Klee's Sequential Numbering System   Introduction  1 The \"Painter-Draftsman\"   2 Seeing and Speculating   3 A Refuge for Script    Epilogue: Old Sound   Notes   Index","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732900983127,"sku":"9780226091181","price":37.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/paul-klee-9780226091181","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
