Résumé:

"For this book, the first detailed study of Klee's work of the Bauhaus period (1921-31), author Geelhaar has had access to previously unpublished theoretical writings by the artist. After an introductory chapter on the history of the Bauhaus, the author discusses Klee's relationship with the school and its artists, in particular Kandinsky, and shows how they influenced his teaching. He then explores the development of Klee's art theory and its application to his will to pure form. Concrete discussions of the works reproduced are closely related to the general text throughout." -- From jacket flap.
