[Matt Lennert · Rating 4 out of 5]

This 1967 book is a great addition to Will Grohmann’s 1954 seminal book on the life and work of Klee. Both offer insight into the challenges of interpretating Klee’s work, with Lynton’s book being a bit less “fan boy” than Grohmann’s. I was always drawn to graphic nature of Klee’s work, especially his magic squares, but I have a much clearer understanding of Klee’s paintings and drawings within the context of his time and country and the place he takes between German expressionism, cubism, surrealism, and abstract expressionism.
