At a museum display of Klee's work, I had the closest thing to Stendhal syndrome I'll probably ever experience. What's wild was how tiny the canvases were: it didn't matter. They might as well have been the gigantic El Greco I saw in Chicago that made me tremble. 😂✨💖 My Mom said I reacted to art from infancy. Sometimes I have to cover my eyes because the beauty of their paintings is that overwhelming. Thank you very much for a look at PK's life & genius.
Thank-you for the very informative history of Paul Klee. There was so much art and information I will watch it again. What a great start to the day. FANTASTIC!!
Thank you very much for these lectures and their clarity. I'm going to focus on one artist every six months-Klee first-- and learn about him/her/it. Thank you so much.
Klee was sooooo original that I think he helped redefine art. An interesting artist I knew named Terry O'shea said, 'Art is the process of redefining itself'. Art has a kind of life of its own. When I was young I used to get ideas for a painting. I would completely do a painting from a mental image. Later I did landscapes trying to capture the scene in front of me. More recently I've taken to decorating a surface with color. That last direction my took of decorating a surface was the most fun and the results were very pleasing. Too bad for me my paintings don't sell often and when they do it's for $50 give or take $10. But I paint only for myself. I did my first painting in water color about 64 years ago, and my first oil painting nearly 60 years ago. The winner is the one who never stops.
Thanks Paul again ! Seems Klee found color in Tunis, makes me want to go there. I wonder if it's still the same. You always do a wonderful job and always look forward to the next one.
@@ArtHistorySchooland so little known among people who would just enjoy his work so much!! He was one of my artist father's favorites, so I was blessed to learn about him very young. I actually got to see Picture Album up close in Phoenix at a special exhibition about the roots of abstract expressionism some years ago. I couldn't stop looking at it, my eyes just traveling over it and over it. ❤ Edit: it wasn't Picture Album. Off to search out the name of the correct painting!
Thanks so much for this truly inspirational video. I've been a fan of Paul Klee for years, he never ceases to amaze me and motivates me in my own artistic journey! 😊
Excellent video, thank you so much for your work. A suggestion if you are open to them…at times your presence on screen is a slight distraction from the paintings and it would be helpful to see the pieces on their own to really have a chance to take them in. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge, this channel is a wonderful educator.
Love Klee's work, Fish Magic hangs in my little art room. As much as the art, also love all his whimsical titles. All paintings should have good titles!
I always had a great deep appreciation for Paul Klee. But thanks to you I learnt more about his life and saw paintings I have never seen before. One of the last paintings with the white skull is so expressive and simple yet holds a lot of meanings and power. Thank you
This is fantastic! I knew little about Paul Klee, but discovered through this video that was a prolific painter and I have fallen in love with several of those included here. Many thanks - and I am now a subscriber!
Another excellent video about a very gifted artist, who has often been overlooked. Thank u very much, Mr Priestly! What a comprehensive and interesting presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Paul Klee is one of my favourite artists and he contributed so much to the art world and Bauhaus!
So interesting. Always love Klee's work but so many pieces Id never seen before. Seems to be have also been hugely influential. Keith Haring springs to mind. It's the delicacy of his colour work and carefully crafted sense of form and play that I so appreciate. Thankyou so much.
Klee has long been my "favorite" painter, but I only knew bits and pieces of his life and career. Short as it was, your lesson here pulled a lot together.
Great! I subbed. I love Paul Klee. And Kandinsky. I took 2 horrible beginning art classes in college. Arrogant jerk Jr. College teachers. However I took an avant-garde art class in University by a unique man named Charles F. CHARLES. I did a presentation on the artwork of the sczhoprenic patients of Carl Jung. Professor Charles asked me " OK, what does this painting mean?" My reply was " Oh, I don't know, perhaps the ascension of the soul". Then the Professor was stunned. He asked me before the class, " What's your major?" I told him " Psychology ". Then he very sincerely and thoughtfully relied " I believe you should be teaching art history in Graduate School ". I was blown away. But I must tell you that Professor Charles had such an iconoclastic approach to art history that he revolutionized my approach to being a Jazz Pianist. By the way Charles F. Charles taught for many years at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville Florida.
Brilliant! I will watch this again and again to see the plethora of paintings used to illustrate Paul's excellent talk. and take in all this detail. Thanks again.
My dear master Paul, another work of your art, the art of video! You are the first who brought Klee closer to me, thank you so much for your important work. Why do I have the feeling, you also paint, do you? Pitty, I can't show you some of my oeuvre, I would be interested in your comment... All the best for you, I hope there soon will be some more of your great videos! Greetings from Tyrol from your digital artfriend Christian 🎨 🖌️ 🌻
Paul your efforts to create informative, entertaining content has -- once more -- succeeded brilliantly. Because you've packed so much into a short production, I happily watch them over and over, finding new bits each time.
I assume because he although he was recognised as German in Switzerland where he was born because his father was German, he was actually Swiss by birth. So it may be the German forces would have called up ethnic Germans first, Marc and Macke were born in Germany. The law wasn't in force at the beginning of the war as far as I know.
Klee is a painter whose art makes you gasp with astonished pleasure every time a new painting appears. Color, playfulness, above all the gift of translating imagination directly into its visual equivalent. I enjoyed this video.
Excellent Documentary of an Artist who's works bring a smile to my face. It was fascinating to see the evolution and transformation of his different styles of painting. I was unfamiliar with his early works. Thanks
REALLY EXCELLENT - ADDS LOTS i didn’t ever know - though I’ve loved his art for decades. I have some of the same inclinations in my art making where I live in NYC.
That studio stuffed with paintings is a revelation. So much work and dedication to making his art. Was he the artist who painted on the kitchen bench while being a house husband, or do I have him mixed up with someone else. Such cultured people with talent in so many areas.
Most excellent!! Your work is well put together in an enjoyable, relaxing educational format. I had no idea about his life with the detail you described. Other then knowing of Paul Klee's work , I am truly impressed , as with all art , I'm inspired to dig deeper.
It is interesting when I watch videos like this it takes me back to when I discovered the artist when in school. I realize now that one book I read by Paul Klee heavily influenced my own work and even the course I took in my life. I don’t remember the whole quote but he said something about leaving art school and learning painting by digging potatoes. I have therefore viewed every life experience as artistic inspiration. I decided to do landscapes recently, after watching lots of Bob Ross, and I now realize my landscapes are more subconsciously inspired by Paul Klee.
I really like your videos. The first couple of videos I thought ”Who the hell is THIS guy?” but I could not stop watching them and ended up thinking ”Who the hell IS this guy?” Your videos are fun and educative at the same time which is great. As a Swede I especially enjoyed your video on Hilma af Klint. Keep up the good work!
I’ve always loved Klee; his works have a calming, curious, childlike quality for me. And speaking of which, to those who claim “Hah, my 6 year old could paint that”, the immense scientific concepts this artist carried in his head certainly defies the above statement regarding his works as ‘child’s play’ 😉
I never saw a Paul Klee piece I didn't like. Hard, if not impossible to think of another great artist that I could make the same claim. Maybe David Smith...
The Degenerate Art Exhibition was extremely successful. The Nazis might have wanted to mock it, but I suspect the German population at large didn't think of it badly. Otherwise they wouldn't have attended...? About Paul Klee... he's one of the few early 20th Century artists who I like as a person as well as an artist. He had a quiet normal life and made great art without hurting anybody. That's amazing. I feel like the awful-human-being-but-genius stereotype is too hyped up and overpraised.
I think people attended more from curiosity than anything else. The propaganda was intense with paintings by monkeys and those from mental institutions displayed alongside those by the big names of modern art. The implications were spelled out for those who didn't 'see the connection'.
“They’re Biting” was the first work of modern art of my acquaintance. Up till then I understood “art” was largely about Mary the virgin holding a huge baby Jesus in her arms like he was a sack of potatoes
What a load of garbage... just shows how much better children are. And I will be the one here who people think is the one who's devoid of understanding real art. I'd rather have my grand children's art on my wall....
You are fully entitled to your opinion, although it's not one i share. There's a good reason why Klee's work adawns the walls of some of the world's great art galleries and your grand children's artwork takes pride of place just on your walls.
Moin Moin ( That‘s what they says in Norther Germany) Mister Priestley. Sorry for my poor englisch. Your Videos are very nice, Please make one ( or tow ) Videos above Karin and Carl Larsson. From Sweden That would very nice.
Great channel. Request: please reflect on recent events surrounding youtube attribution of content, and consider listing your sources in the description, and make the distinctions between quotation and summary and personal knowledge clearer in the video itself. People need to be able to figure out what is from a book, what is your own reading of data you have acquired over your career, and what is more casual research. Usually this won't matter much, but when it does, oh boy it really does. Thank you for considering this.
Never could get interested in Klee’s work. Amazing artist without a doubt but his work is highly forgettable. Why? I don’t know if I ever figured out why but I do know that he was no one’s favorite artist when I was in art school. In fact, his name was barely mentioned and his work was less studied. Later on in grad school his name came up, of course, but I always felt he was mentioned more out of unstated obligation than in genuine appreciation. Damned if I know why. Superb painter but not a well liked one. Curious.
It maybe because like similar artists his work looks curiously childlike and simplistic, but is in fact very sophisticated and complex. His use of colour is sublime.
Great video, especially with the correlated ages noted whilst describing events. I first learned of Paul Klee through tumblr of all places. Sadly, the only thing more insane than the Nazis labelling things "degenerate art", is living through a subsequent historical era, that far exceeds anything that offended them.
I enjoyed this video very much, thank you. I learned a great deal about Paul Klee’s life. I was named after him; my name is Klee. My parents loved his work.
It’s sad and hilarious a man gifted with portraying light and volume (value) would be worried about color and continue on to make art devoid of light and volume. I have the opposite struggle.
I seem to be the only one with a problem with your sound. With the computer sound and the TH-cam sound turned all the way up I could barely hear you. I don't see any other comment about this. Klee was a favorite of mine early one, along with Kandinsky. Loved seeing the art.
The video has had over 45,000 views and only one other person complained about the sound only coming from one channel. The numbers would suggest there is not much wrong with the video I'm afraid. It works fine on my computer. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video despite the sound problems. Cheers
J'adore vos vidéos Paul ! Je les regarde pour le plaisir culturel et comme moyen d'écouter parler anglais de temps en temps ! Great moment each time! Very good job! Noemie 👍👌👏😊
One of the most magical artists of the twentieth century, with a childlike purity of outlook and a disarming air of simplicity in realization that belies a profound intellectual commitment to his vocation. This serves as an excellent introduction to the man and his legacy.
One of my favourite artists. Funny that he was such a brilliant colourist and yet started out having no idea about colour at all. In this way he is similar to Van Gogh. It's almost as if artists have to master drawing and chiaroscuro and design first before they master colour.
There should be a Subscribe button in the bottom right corner of each video. If you click this it takes you to my channel where you will see the Subscribe button. Many thanks. Cheers
At a museum display of Klee's work, I had the closest thing to Stendhal syndrome I'll probably ever experience. What's wild was how tiny the canvases were: it didn't matter. They might as well have been the gigantic El Greco I saw in Chicago that made me tremble. 😂✨💖
My Mom said I reacted to art from infancy. Sometimes I have to cover my eyes because the beauty of their paintings is that overwhelming. Thank you very much for a look at PK's life & genius.
He was a brilliant artist, who had a massive influence on modern art.
“Drawing is . . . . Taking a line for a walk” Not only a wonderful artist; I bet he was a wonderful teacher, too.
He certainly was. Cheers
Thank-you for the very informative history of Paul Klee. There was so much art and information I will watch it again. What a great start to the day. FANTASTIC!!

Same. I plan on watching this multiple times
No

Thanks Paul again ! Seems Klee found color in Tunis, makes me want to go there. I wonder if it's still the same. You always do a wonderful job and always look forward to the next one.
I have been to Tunisia and the colour is strong there, must be something to with the dry atmosphere and strong light.
Yes!!! Not enough Paul Klee on youtube. You always make excellent videos so I'm glad you've done him.
Yes, he is very underrated.

Should be well worth a look.
As always, informative, interesting and entertaining! thank you Paul!!

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Paul your efforts to create informative, entertaining content has -- once more -- succeeded brilliantly. Because you've packed so much into a short production, I happily watch them over and over, finding new bits each time.
Wow, thanks! It does take a lot of time to make the videos, but it is worth the effort when they are appreciated. Many thanks. Cheers
Very interesting, informative and entertaining. Thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
How did it come about that Macke and Marc died in the fighting if they were artists too? Were they not subject to the same law that kept Klee safe?
I assume because he although he was recognised as German in Switzerland where he was born because his father was German, he was actually Swiss by birth. So it may be the German forces would have called up ethnic Germans first, Marc and Macke were born in Germany. The law wasn't in force at the beginning of the war as far as I know.
I’ve always just loved Paul Klee’s work. So inventive, such color. Really one of the greats who deserves more attention. Thank you.
Couldn't agree more!
Klee is a painter whose art makes you gasp with astonished pleasure every time a new painting appears. Color, playfulness, above all the gift of translating imagination directly into its visual equivalent. I enjoyed this video.

Thank you
Thanks, this was fascinating and inspiring!
Thank you
Thanks for the introduction to the biography and work of Paul Klee, quite an interesting artist.
Glad you enjoyed it Cheers
That studio stuffed with paintings is a revelation. So much work and dedication to making his art. Was he the artist who painted on the kitchen bench while being a house husband, or do I have him mixed up with someone else. Such cultured people with talent in so many areas.
You are right, he did paint at the kitchen table.
You are the best.
Thank you
Such a fantastic artist. Thank you for all your hard work you do on these great artists.
Thank you so much 😀
Welcome back my friend!!!!
Cheers
Lovely video.
Thank you very much!
I might pick up the pencil myself knowing that my forefather was this great of a painter! 😂
That's brilliant.
a brilliant artist; thanks, really enjoyed that.
He certainly was

He certainly was an interesting and forward looking artist.
It is interesting when I watch videos like this it takes me back to when I discovered the artist when in school. I realize now that one book I read by Paul Klee heavily influenced my own work and even the course I took in my life.
I don’t remember the whole quote but he said something about leaving art school and learning painting by digging potatoes. I have therefore viewed every life experience as artistic inspiration. I decided to do landscapes recently, after watching lots of Bob Ross, and I now realize my landscapes are more subconsciously inspired by Paul Klee.
That's wonderful, its amazing how artists influence us often very subtly .
I really like your videos. The first couple of videos I thought ”Who the hell is THIS guy?” but I could not stop watching them and ended up thinking ”Who the hell IS this guy?” Your videos are fun and educative at the same time which is great. As a Swede I especially enjoyed your video on Hilma af Klint. Keep up the good work!
Thank you , much appreciated. Cheers
So informative!!! Thnx for sharing.......Would like to see more such videos...Tnx
Thanks, have you seen my other videos at th-cam.com/users/arthistoryschool ?
I’ve always loved Klee; his works have a calming, curious, childlike quality for me. And speaking of which, to those who claim “Hah, my 6 year old could paint that”, the immense scientific concepts this artist carried in his head certainly defies the above statement regarding his works as ‘child’s play’ 😉

You are fully entitled to your opinion, although it's not one i share. There's a good reason why Klee's work adawns the walls of some of the world's great art galleries and your grand children's artwork takes pride of place just on your walls.
A brilliant video - thank you! One puzzle, though: "Klee missed not having deadlines" - he pined for a time when there were no deadlines?
Quite the opposite. He missed the deadlines imposed by exhibition dates, in relation to making work. He needed deadlines to work against.
Moin Moin ( That‘s what they says in Norther Germany) Mister Priestley. Sorry for my poor englisch. Your Videos are very nice, Please make one ( or tow ) Videos above Karin and Carl Larsson. From Sweden That would very nice.
Cheers, I'll have a look at the Larssons

Nice video--I don't know how you found so many examples of Klee's early/student work! I've looked all over and only found a few.
It took some time, believe me.
Thanks for the lesson on Paul Klee, I have always enjoyed his art. Loved your enthusiastic good bye.
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
Yes, I enjoyed it. I only heard about him from an interview I saw of Joseph Campbell who said he liked him.
Yes, he is an interesting artist.
It’s sad and hilarious a man gifted with portraying light and volume (value) would be worried about color and continue on to make art devoid of light and volume. I have the opposite struggle.

superb! Thank you! Happiest, Healthiest Holiday Wishes for you and yours. 🧡💚❤
Many thanks and a Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you too.
Great video. Paul Klee looks very much like that popular valiant guy fighting for freedom in Ukraine.
Not made the connection myself, but I can see your point.
What a wonderful video you made! Thank you so much. I love Paul Klee so much that I feel I am a part of him.
Glad you enjoyed it! He was a remarkable artist. Cheers
Wow. So informative. I did not know all this about Paul Klee. I subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the sub. Cheers
Wonderful video on Paul Klee, much more in-depth about development of his style done in a very fun way
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
J'adore vos vidéos Paul !
Je les regarde pour le plaisir culturel et comme moyen d'écouter parler anglais de temps en temps !
Great moment each time!
Very good job!
Noemie 👍👌👏😊
Many thanks, Cheers
A request, if I may, for an upcoming video: Karl Schmidt-Rottluff
Great suggestion!
One of the most magical artists of the twentieth century, with a childlike purity of outlook and a disarming air of simplicity in realization that belies a profound intellectual commitment to his vocation. This serves as an excellent introduction to the man and his legacy.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Fantastic art, and great presentation. I'm going to enjoy this day researching Paul Klee
That's great, enjoy your day.
Thanks for a great video. I can recommend the Zentrum PK in Bern to anyone - amazing collection!
I will certainly visit if I get to Switzerland. Cheers
One of my favourite artists.
Funny that he was such a brilliant colourist and yet started out having no idea about colour at all. In this way he is similar to Van Gogh. It's almost as if artists have to master drawing and chiaroscuro and design first before they master colour.
Interesting point! Cheers
Love your videos. It would be so wonderful if you made some videos on some painters from my home country. India. Would love one on S.h raza.
I have made videos on MF Husain th-cam.com/video/OsVQKR918RQ/w-d-xo.html and Amrita Sher Gil th-cam.com/video/EdNB1t9MOj8/w-d-xo.html
