Paul Klee 1879–1940
German-Swiss painter 

  1. Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.
    Inward Vision (1958) ‘Creative Credo’ (1920)
  2. An active line on a walk, moving freely without a goal. A walk for walk's sake.
    Pedagogical Sketchbook (1925)
  3. Colour has taken hold of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me for ever. That is the significance of this blessed moment.
    on a visit to Tunis in 1914
