Paul Klee Quotes

In my productive activity, every time a type grows beyond the stage of its genesis, and I have about reached the goal, the intensity gets lost very quickly, and I have to look for new ways Picture Quote #1

He neither serves nor rules, he transmits. His position is humble and the beauty at the crown is not his own. He is merely a channel Picture Quote #1

Color has got me. I no longer need to chase after it. It has got me for ever. I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour Picture Quote #1

It is the artistic mission to penetrate as far as may be toward that secret ground where primal law feeds growth Picture Quote #1

An active line on a walk, moving freely, without goal. A walk for a walk’s sake Picture Quote #1

My hand is entirely the implement of a distant sphere. It is not my head that functions but something else, something higher, something somewhere remote. I must have great friends there, dark as well as bright. They are all very kind to me Picture Quote #1

Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view Picture Quote #1

It is a great difficulty and a great necessity to have to start with the smallest Picture Quote #1

To give emphasis only to beauty makes me think of a mathematics that deals with positive numbers only Picture Quote #1

Light and the rational forms are locked in combat; light sets them into motion, bends what is straight, makes parallels oval, inscribes circles in the intervals, makes the intervals active Picture Quote #1

My mirror probes down to the heart. I write words on the forehead and around the corners of the mouth. My human faces are truer than the real ones Picture Quote #1

First of all, the art of living; then as my ideal profession, poetry and philosophy, and as my real profession, plastic arts; in the last resort, for lack of income, illustrations Picture Quote #1

To achieve vital harmony in a picture it must be constructed out of parts in themselves incomplete, brought into harmony only at the last stroke Picture Quote #1

The beholder’s eye, which moves like an animal grazing, follows paths prepared for it in the picture Picture Quote #1

When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed Picture Quote #1

A certain fire pretends to be alive; it awakens. Working its way along the hand as a conductor, it reaches the support and engulfs it; then a leaping spark closes the circle it was to trace, coming back to the eye and beyond Picture Quote #1

I have a clear view of 12 years of history of my inner self. First the cramped self, that self with big blinkers, then the disappearance of the blinkers and the self, now gradually the reemergence of a self without blinkers Picture Quote #1

I still come closest to success with drawing. When I use color the results are dubious, for these painfully gained experiences bear less fruit Picture Quote #1

The creation of a work of art must of necessity, as a result of entering into the specific dimensions of pictorial art, be accompanied by distortion of the natural form. For, therein is nature reborn Picture Quote #1

Every artist would like to live in the central organ of creation... Not all are destined to get there... but our beating hearts drive us deep down, right into the pit of creation Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I dream of a work of really great breadth, ranging through the whole region of object, meaning, and style. This, I fear, will remain a dream, but it is a good thing to bear the possibility occasionally in mind Picture Quote #1

The way to form transcends its own destination, goes beyond the end of the way itself Picture Quote #1

What my art probably lacks is a kind of passionate humanity... There is no sensuous relationship, not even the noblest, between myself and the many Picture Quote #1

One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded Picture Quote #1

In earlier times artists liked to show what was actually visible... nowadays we are concerned with reality, rather than the merely visible Picture Quote #1
