PAUL KLEE
Published in 1963 within the 'Destins de l'art' collection, this work dedicated to Paul Klee stands out for its unique character: it is written by Félix Klee, the son of the famous modernist painter. This filial perspective offers an intimate and privileged view of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Founding member of Der Blaue Reiter and professor at the Bauhaus, Paul Klee (1879-1940) developed a singular pictorial language, blending abstraction, symbolism, and visual poetry. This thirteenth volume of the collection directed by Bernard Gheerbrant benefits from remarkable editorial production. The layout designed by Pierre Faucheux, a major figure in French graphic design, showcases exceptionally high-quality color heliogravure reproductions, printed by the renowned Imprimeries Braun et Cie of Mulhouse. Limited to only 2500 numbered copies reserved for members of the Club des Libraires de France, this copy N°1439 represents a precious bibliophilic testimony to Klee's work, combining technical excellence and documentary rarity.

The 'Destins de l'art' Collection
