The fact that Paul Klee (1879-1940) consistently intertwined the visual and the verbal
in his art has long fascinated commentators from Walter Benjamin to Michel Foucault.
However, the questions it prompts have never been satisfactorily answered - until
now. In Paul Klee, Annie Bourneuf offers the first full account of the interplay between
the visible and the legible in Klee's works from the 1910s and 1920s. Bourneuf argues
that Klee joined these elements to invite a manner of viewing that would unfold in
time, a process analogous to reading. From his elaborate titles to the small scale
he favored to his metaphoric play with materials, Klee created forms that hover between
the pictorial and the written. Through his unique approach, he subverted forms of
modernist painting that were generally seen to threaten slow, contemplative viewing.
Tracing the fraught relations among seeing, reading, and imagining in the early twentieth
century, Bourneuf shows how Klee reconceptualized abstraction at a key moment in its
development. -- from dust jacket
