Paul Klee was born on December 29, 1879. He then died on June 29, 1940. He was born in Munchenbuchsee, Switzerland. He was the second of two children. His father, Hans Klee, was a German music teacher. His mother, Ida Frick, was trained to be a singer. Klee began drawing and painting at a young age. At age seven he played the violin, and at age eight his grandmother gave him sidewalk chalk. Klee appeared to have talent in music and drawing at a young age. He also followed his parents' wishes, was focused on becoming a musician, but decided to study Visual Arts when he was a teenager. In his adolescence he seemed rebellious, this led him to believe that modern music had no meaning for him. “I didn't find the idea of pursuing music creatively particularly appealing considering the declining history of musical success,” he said. As a musician he played and felt emotionally connected to eighteenth and nineteenth century works. But as an artist he wanted to explore radical ideas and styles. At sixteen, Klee's landscape drawings already show talent. Around 1897 he began a diary, which he kept until 1918. This diary has provided scholars with valuable information about his life and thoughts. During his school years he drew in school books. Which, demonstrated skill with line and volume. In his free time, in addition to his interests in music and art, Klee was a good reader of literature, and later a writer on art theory and aesthetics. With his parents' permission, he began studying art at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts in 1898. He excelled at drawing but seemed to lack a natural sense of color. He said: “During the third winter, I even realized that I was trying... middle of paper......h figures of animals and people. I like that his work was very abstract. I like it when it reflects his dry and variable mood, and also expresses political beliefs. I like when he used poetry, music and dreams and sometimes included words or musical notation. His work concerns me because I like working in art and inventing my own style to create my works of art. I imagine my life colorful and he uses many colors to create his work. I like to use the resources I have available to create a single work of art, like he did. What I admire about him is that he never gave up, he always tried to work on his skills and improve them, and he accepted pressure from his friends well. I also like that he always tried to create his own work in his own style and that he combines many artistic styles to create a single work of art.
