Description
Extrait: "Velasquez est né à Séville le 6 juin 1599. Il est mort à Madrid le 7 août 1660. C'est une figure grave, énergique, impassible. Si un imperceptible sourire d'ironie fait frissonner parfois sa moustache cavalière, c'est qu'il a été distrait un instant. Il a cessé, pendant la durée d'un éclair, de regarder devant lui, autour de lui, de fouiller, de noter, de voir, de comprendre."

Mikhail Guerman traces the converging lines of Russian and French art in the immensely fertile period of the late 19th and early 20th century.

An emblematic figure of the early 20th century, Paul Klee participated in the expansive Avant-Garde movements in Germany and Switzerland. From the vibrant Blaue Reiter movement to Surrealism at the end of the 1930s and throughout his teaching years at the Bauhaus, he attempted to capture the organic and harmonic nature of painting by alluding to other artistic mediums such as poetry, literature, and, above all, music.
