WI (IN MEMORIAM) SIGNED PAUL KLEE Watercolor, gouache and plaster on burlap. Signed 'Klee' (upper left). The present work displays the succinct, graphic elements, simplified colors, and heavy black symbols that characterize the formal vocabulary of the artist's late style. Here, rudimentary graphic elements cut through a field of cream and light green paint, separated by the visible canvas on either side of these strong black lines, which organize the pictorial structure as a whole. The title of the present work, which is possibly dedicated to the memory of an unidentified friend with the initials "WI," confers an associative meaning onto this linear construction and reflects Klee's organization of his graphic vocabulary into more descriptive figural compositions. The thick lines and arcs that sweep through the picture plane articulate a figure whose head rests on his hand. Dimension: Image only: 53.5×45cm; With frame: 56×47.7cm;
