This collection features 80 paintings created by Bauhaus master Paul Klee between 1917 and 1933, deemed his "Master Years" (the title of the exhibition this book accompanies). The works include paintings that the artist never intended to sell. The three essays in the book consider that prolific era in Klee's career, the creative process in the work of the artist and his contemporary Pablo Picasso, and Klee's interaction with his own oeuvre. A biography containing photographs is also included. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
