"Paul Klee's late works, particularly from the 1930s to 1940s, reflect his individuality and imagination as a response to the political upheaval of his time."
"The exhibition highlights Klee's powerful creative output during his final decade, showcasing rarely seen works that illustrate his resistance to Nazi persecution."
The Jewish Museum showcases Paul Klee: Other Possible Worlds, the first US exhibition dedicated to the artist's late works from the 1930s. This exhibition features 100 paintings and drawings, emphasizing Klee's creative output during a politically tumultuous period. His art serves as a form of resistance against Nazi ideology. Klee, originally trained in music, shifted to visual arts and gained recognition at the Bauhaus before being dismissed by the National Socialists, leading to his exile and a transformation in his artistic style.
