Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918

"Klee's style, in the German original, is often turgid, sententious, involved, and far from clear; at its best it has a kind of supra-grammatical, folksy spontaneity that is apt to evaporate in transit....And so what is the main interest of the diaries, Klee on his own work. The link, at last, with the artist of such originality and imagination; the link, also, with the man of the extraordinary eyes, the dark, magnetic, inward-seeing eyes in the stern, innocent, often beautiful face, who looks out of the photographs and who fails to come through his own words."Klee, Paul is the author of 'Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898-1918' with ISBN 9780520006539 and ISBN 0520006534.
