Story
A dense field of geometric shapes mingles with sketchy architectural lines and small figures, rendered in earth tones alongside yellows and pinks, with one blue circle standing out among the composition. The piece, titled Magic Garden (Zaubergarten), was made in 1926 by Paul Klee, using oil over gypsum plaster filled into wire mesh, set within a wood frame built by the artist himself. It is held today at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, having come from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. Klee, who lived from 1879 to 1940, was associated with the Bauhaus movement. Looking closely, the blue circle draws the eye first, anchoring the surrounding scatter of forms and giving the whole surface a sense of playful structure despite its abstraction.
