Paul Klee: Art Lives (2008)

Poet, musician, philosopher, explorer, satirist, artist and educationalist - Paul Klee was all of these. With a seemingly child-like simplicity and rhythmic composition of lines, shapes and colours, Klee voiced his profound, complex and occasionally ironic opinions, and his actions are inseparable from the influences of his hometown Bern and the Bauhaus movement. These two films direct the focus on the two key domains of the artist, to which the Paul Klee Centre in Bern and the Bauhaus Foundation in Dessau testify today. Quotes from Klee, along with interviews and stories told by his grandson, give the viewer an insight into his life and work.
