Digitorial Mapping Klee
Paul Klee loved travelling. Like many modern artists he sought out encounters with the exotic, the foreign and the archetypal as a counter-world to the familiar one. He then processed his impressions in his work. Five of the artist’s most important journeys can be experienced online in our Digitorial.
Podcasts Mapping Klee
Five journeys will provide insights into Klee’s artistic development: from being a student full of doubts to one of the most important modern artists. The podcast "Mapping Klee" follows Klee's tracks through "Italy 1901", takes the artist to the French metropolis in the episode "Paris 1912", tells of the now legendary journey of the three artist colleagues Paul Klee, August Macke and Louis Moilliet shortly before the outbreak of the First World War in "Tunisia 1914", while the already successful artist and Bauhaus master seeks relaxation on holiday trips in "Southern France 1927" and then, in "Egypt 1928", fulfils a long-held wish with his second trip to North Africa.

Klee's Bildnerische Form- und Gestaltungslehre
Between 1921 and 1931, Paul Klee taught bildnerische Form- und Gestaltungslehre at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau. These manuscripts include the small book Beiträge zur bildnerischen Formlehre as well as a bundle of around 3900 pages of teaching notes. Klee referred to this material as Bildnerische Gestaltungslehre. These notes (except for eight pages) are now kept at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern.
Thanks to a four-year research project, all the notes can be viewed free of charge as facsimiles and transcriptions in the following database.
