Ask anything

Hans Eijkenboom asked

In mijn herinnering (uit de jaren 80) heeft Boijmans een Klee geschilderd op krantenpapier, klopt deze herinnering en is dat dit werk?
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Beste Hans,
Uw herinnering klopt volledig. Dit werk is inderdaad door Klee op krantenpapier geschilderd.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Frederieke

Read aloud

Paul Klee’s poetic drawings and watercolours show a highly personal world. His works, some of which resemble children’s drawings, are usually composed of fine lines and transparent colours. This work, which he made at the end of his life, has a thicker layer of paint. Klee has used a self-made distemper to paint two (or three?) figures ‘with peculiar heads’.
