Story

A face breaks apart into overlapping rectangles and triangles, with just one eye remaining visible among tones of red, brown, black, gray, and cream, forming a vertical geometric arrangement with reddish gradation. The piece is a watercolor on paper mounted on board, made in 1921 by Paul Klee, a German-Swiss artist associated with Bauhaus and Expressionism. It came to the Yale University Art Gallery as a gift from the Collection Société Anonyme.
