Paul Klee Men Quotations

The pictorial work was born of movement, is itself recorded movement, and is assimilated through movement (eye muscles).

Polyphonic painting is superior to music in that there, the time element becomes a spatial element. The notion of simultaneity stands out even more richly.

Be winged arrows aiming at fulfillment and goal.

My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.

The longer a line, the more of the time element it contains. Distance is time whereas a surface is apprehended more in terms of the moment.

Satire must not be a kind of superfluous ill will, but ill will from a higher point of view. Ridiculous man, divine God. Or else, hatred against the bogged-down vileness of average man as against the possible heights that humanity might attain.
