I dedicate this article to Sonja Chiffot, a friend who combines artistic talent that psychotherapist!
" By instilling in milky white clouds
"Shedding light than our eyes reveal,
" This is the universe before us all, to every man
"And every woman and each child king amused
"What we create Happy Here thousand points of stars!
" There thousand arrows! Stammering alphabets black
"whose meaning, so harmonious, is our secret ..." JL Garac
For this short poem, I tried to paint a canvas personal invite you to discover or rediscover Paul Klee. Klee is because for me poetry in painting, a rare concentration of happiness, exuberance, vision and philosophy as well. Maybe he is to painting what Mahler is to music, humming in his own way "a brother Jacques" while preparing adagios sensitive like all the colors can take the love and giving.
modes devote particular artist as the headlights of a particular century, but our truths are others, take for example Picasso, described as the genius of his time, what would he do without the incessant dialogue it had undertaken with his friends and other contemporary painters famous painters died long ago? This set of "mirror" and "reflections" certainly give flashes and "light" news, but it can also create shade for other creators.
Some like Klee may appear less spectacular but there is in it a density and a compendium of emotions that take us by the throat when one discovers the painting after painting, and that we abandon our "blinders "or all" format "...
The unclassifiable Paul Klee traveled the early twentieth century like a shooting star! Escaping the Nazis and saving his dream world of signs and forms in monochrome. He announced in the new century disrupted a strange fusion of colors, writing, and breath, perhaps mystical, in the heart of a new vision to find itself.

Paul Klee has also taught painting and liked to show his students the very formation of life in the lineage of the "naturphilosophie" (see note ), search for fullness, control and calm, which was developed in late eighteenth century Germany.
But nothing pompous or boring at home, he has this amazing ability to delve into her imagination, a perfect fluid, to find the crystals of innocence and happiness. The world he paints is one that is given to every man in his heart, a magical and playful, that of a childhood filled with wonder, where the color structure and determines our feelings and our actions.

Klee also was nicknamed "the Buddha of the Bauhaus" (see note ), and this feeling comes from his philosophical work: we feel a measure of closure to colors of the soul, diffused light to achieve a soft reflection that does not prevent the protest of a terrible sadness to the idea of a needless death and suffering infinite, as the indelible mark of the monstrous events of his era.
Through his travels, notably in North Africa, he discovered the powerful vibration of colors that will continue to inhabit his work as a sacred reference. Using patterns and trends of his time (cubism, expressionism, abstraction), but not really join, it will never be independent from a tour of his dreams some famous landscapes. As the man loves to put labels on everything easier, perhaps also why Klee surprise a lot of criticism and remain below the front of the stage of the great painters ...
But Klee proposes works superbly original authtentique punctuated with signs as a text input and hesitant to announce the best and the worst in our lives. The title of his paintings, however, guides us in the interpretation we can propose and reveals part of the mystery or enigma that each table holds.
His work is also close to that of Kandinsky, unlimited forms and rich palette color, which he was a friend. Their universe resonate the same worlds: M colors, modulations forms, revelations of what we no longer see, but the reminder of the diversity may be too disturbing conformism .
His search for an almost hieroglyphic writing, renewed from one table to another, I think soon announce the beginning of the twentieth century many other pictorial research that will develop from the sixties, from a vision of signs related characters and signs, as in the compositions of Keith Haring.

In the exhibition is devoted to Paul Klee Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris, I was particularly fascinated by a painting, one titled "A star rises "and I'll try to describe it simply (unfortunately not available on the net reproduction):
On a background of hazy blue-gray, blue, yellow-orange, which seems soak up the colors of the galaxies themselves, s'allignent over the entire surface of the canvas points hanging light yellow tinge.
Is this a universe of stars? Enlightenment of the big cities? Points of fires?
Some "square", "rectangles", "traits" and "zigzags" modulate the background of eternity, perhaps, are they blue or red eyes brought on this world for ever!
top of the table, a blue star with six branches as the star of David, but oddly darker than the rest of the table, is connected to a slight zigzag wire.
Imagine a ball gone? A Kite missed? A Star of Destiny?
Two large horizontal lines mark the horizon, or what is called imaginary wharf Earth, where if we want our own limitations. Where will escape the star, and what will be our horizon once gone?
Despite a light feeling of sadness came over me and I feel very alone in the world, but what world? That unreachable colors and lights of the cosmos, the one I keep in me, that of Klee, whom I would like to catch a child that I have not ceased to be?
But remember we are in 1931, when Klee painted this work, and that the West will capsize slowly toward the abyss.
