Story
Dark, bold outlines trace a cluster of stylized figures across the composition, set against a tan ground that carries a worn, textured surface. Warm earth tones mingle with reds and pinks, giving the shapes a glowing, almost heated presence rather than a naturalistic one. The forms seem to huddle together, their edges firm and deliberate, as though the artist built the image through careful contour rather than shading. This piece, titled Forest Witches, was made in 1938 and is held at the Beyeler Foundation. Paul Klee (1879–1940), a German-Swiss artist, worked within Expressionism, bringing an abstract sensibility to this scene. A detail worth noticing is how the pink and red hues press against the darker outlines, creating a sense of inner heat trapped within each stylized form.
