Paul Klee's Innovative Concepts of Art

The somewhat odd paintings of Paul Klee are a bit hard to fathom. Yet, if a person just calmly stands there and studies the precise almost eerily minimalist conceptions of this superior artist from Switzerland then one can't help but be vigorously overwhelmed by his innovative artistic stylings and vital aesthetic rubric. Some of Paul Klee's early work echoed the grand influences of Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne. I like the dizzying emotionalism of Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne. Finally after going more into a Cubist mode, Paul Klee produced unique jewel-oriented paintings in his own terse but so achingly truthful language. Admittedly just like some of the political blather espoused by some of the non-erudite Middle East analysts, the art of Klee is hard to visually and emotionally comprehend. Indeed with others like Georges Braque a person could access the art truisms a little easier. Politically, the bizarre politics of the straining Middle East are much akin to the confusing art vision that a soul finds so prevalent in the mixed blessing that is the intense art of Paul Klee. The Paul Klee idea modes of the odd world of machines and unusual buildings is a puzzle and yet so useful in stirring all of us to think which is one of the fascinating and trenchant good meanings of the world of art and the ideas interlaced within it.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
