Completed printing on September 10, 1964. About the Publication: Paul Klee, 12 aquarelles (Paul Klee, Twelve Watercolors), published in Paris in 1964 by Berggruen et Cie, represents a refined postwar homage to one of the most poetic and intellectually rigorous artists of modernism. Conceived as a carefully curated presentation of Klee’s watercolor imagery, the publication reflects the mid twentieth century French commitment to preserving and transmitting modern art through exceptional printing standards. Produced in collaboration with Daniel Jacomet, whose atelier was celebrated for its mastery of pochoir and fidelity to original works, the folio emphasizes chromatic nuance, surface texture, and the delicate balance between line and color that defines Klee’s art. Issued in a strictly controlled tirage, the publication situates Klee within the lineage of modern masters whose works demanded artisanal methods rather than purely mechanical reproduction. It stands today as an important example of Parisian art publishing devoted to modern abstraction, bridging scholarly presentation and collector quality craftsmanship while reinforcing Klee’s lasting influence on postwar European visual culture. About the Artist: Paul Klee (1879–1940) was a Swiss German painter, draftsman, printmaker, and teacher whose boundless imagination, lyrical abstraction, and profound mastery of color made him one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Born in Munchenbuchsee near Bern into a family of musicians, Klee developed an early sensitivity to rhythm and structure that informed his belief that painting, like music, followed underlying harmonic principles. After studying in Munich, he explored Symbolism, Cubism, and abstraction before a transformative journey to Tunisia in 1914 revealed to him the expressive and spiritual power of color. His subsequent career unfolded through an extraordinary synthesis of geometry, intuition, and poetic symbolism. As a central figure at the Bauhaus, Klee developed theoretical writings and pedagogical approaches that shaped generations of artists and designers. Engaging in creative dialogue with contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Klee shared the revolutionary ambitions of modernism while maintaining a uniquely introspective and lyrical voice. His influence extended to later artists including Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Cy Twombly, Jean Dubuffet, and Josef Albers. Today, his works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, the Centre Pompidou, and the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern. His highest auction record was achieved by Tanzerin (Dancer) (1932), which sold for approximately 7.48 million USD at Christies, New York, on November 8, 2011, affirming his enduring legacy as one of the most poetic and visionary figures of modern art.
