A relentless experimenter, Klee began these studies while teaching at the Bauhaus in Dessau, developed them further during his tenure at the art academy in Düsseldorf, and brought them to a conclusion after his return to Switzerland in 1933. In this book, distinguished art historian Oskar Bätschmann explores Klee's seminal painting \u003ci\u003eAd Parnassum \u003c\/i\u003e(1932). Painted shortly after the artist's departure from the Bauhaus, it symbolizes a new era--one of Klee's own self-discovery. Bätschmann documents how the artist strove for a connection of music to painting in his color hues and in the rhythmic movement of colored dots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richly illustrated, this book uses \u003ci\u003eAd Parnassum\u003c\/i\u003e to place Klee's polyphonic understanding of art in an art-historical context and offers insight into the synesthetic thinking that emerged in the art world during his time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oskar Bätschmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3039420119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783039420117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Oskar Bätschmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982022115583,"sku":"9783039420117","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dbc352c-5670-4757-b01d-316a80a511a0.jpg?v=1683258834","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paul-klee-ad-parnassum-oskar-btschmann-9783039420117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
