Book excerpt: "For Paul Klee, both as an artist and as a teacher, nature was an inexhaustible source of inspiration; a large part of his oeuvre depicts gardens and parks - from reallocations such as the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Worlitz or Hammamet in Tunisia to imaginary, sometimes dreamlike and sometimes exotic, products of fantasy portraying ominous plant worlds. Klee (1879-1940) also paid special attention to plant structure and growth; on walks he would often collect flowers, evergreens, and leaves, expertly identifying and storing them in a herbarium." "With over one hundred and forty color illustrations, this publication reveals the multifaceted temperament of Klee's lifelong "dialogue with nature." His complex approach, on the one hand analytically objective and on the other radically subjective, is also explored, as is his understanding of art as a process of creation similar to nature itself."--BOOK JACKET.
