 		Paul Klee quote in latest Greyqwethers e-mail...
"Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible....
My aim is always to get hold of the magic of reality
and to transfer this reality into painting -
to make the invisible visible through reality.
It may sound paradoxical, but it is, in fact, reality
which forms the mystery of our existence."

http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Paul_Klee/
Paul Klee (1879 - 1940)
Swiss Abstractionist painter
the frist line is sited as his creative credo.

http://mirror.oir.ucf.edu/wm/paint/auth/klee/
Quote:
Klee often incorporated letters and numerals into his paintings, as in Once Emerged from the Gray of Night (1917-18; Klee Foundation, Berlin). These, part of Klee's complex language of symbols and signs, are drawn from the unconscious and used to obtain a poetic amalgam of abstraction and reality. He wrote that "Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible," and he pursued this goal in a wide range of media using an amazingly inventive battery of techniques. Line and color predominate with Klee, but he also produced series of works that explore mosaic and other effects. ...



And further down the same page:

Quote:

Klee painted with intense rapidity and sureness and it is impossible to indicate the full breadth of his range, his unfailing magic, and his poetry. Diana in the Autumn Wind (1934; 63 x 58 cm (24 3/4 x 19 in)) gives a hint of his sense of movement. Leaves flying in a moist breeze are, at the same time, the Virgin goddess on the hunt, and yet also a fashionably dressed woman from Klee's social circle. The eeriness of the dying year takes shape before our eyes and beyond all this are lovely balancing forms that exist in their own right. This work is strangely pale for Klee, yet the gentle pallor is demanded by the theme: he hints that Diana is disintegrating under the force of autumnal fruitfulness.


And at the bottom of the page
Quote:
Klee understood his death as a movement into the deepest reality, because, as he said, ``the objective world surrounding us is not the only one possible; there are others, latent''. He reveals a little of that latent otherness here.


SPEC:
So perhaps Wednesday will bring a new page at greywethers: klee.html

 		Good find Mage. Here is the painting "Once Emerged from the Gray of the Night". The one where he incorporates letters and numerals. http://members.fortunecity.com/earthlingz/GALLERIES/KLEE/pages/Once%20Emerged.htm






And here is "Diana in the Autumn Wind" http://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/artist26.html

 		The quote isn't simply by Klee. As others have noted, the portion after the first sentence is by Max Beckmann. This is his Self Portrait (which I have hanging over my desk, as my personal Dorian Grey.)

Confused I suspect that this expression is his reaction to having been initially overlooked...

Spec: next found page will be "heydontforgetaboutme.html"

Thank you dmax for not forgetting about him. Smile

So maybe the next page will be just simply "Grey".

Also, the subject of this email is "The Mystery of Existence". I haven't seen anyone talk about this artist, Dimitri Novous. These works are called " Electrum Magicum".Here is his painting. If you click on it, it takes you to another page and you see a picture with an alien in it, or a Grey. Clicking thru many links (don't remember which ones) leads to a page titled[url=http://mkzdk.org/framecosmos.html]"Emergeance"[/url]. This area is called the "cosmos". It seems they are talking about quantum mechanics.

Refers the his painting "The Dream" found here: http://www.csulb.edu/~karenk/20thcwebsite/438final/ah438fin-Info.00069.html
