Castle and Sun

Story

A yellow sun and a red circular form glow against a deep red background, surrounded by patchwork rectangles and triangles in varied colors, suggesting a castle built from geometric fragments. The composition dates from 1928, created by Paul Klee (1879–1940), a German-Swiss artist. Klee worked within the Bauhaus movement, and his style also connects to Expressionism and Color Field tendencies, blending structure with pure color harmony.

Where it works

Warm-toned artwork suited to media rooms and bedrooms, and to hotel guest rooms, in a horizontal format.
