Klee and CoBrA: A Child’s play
The painter Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of those figures that´s used to put emphatically into question -according to a cliché deeply rooted into popular imagination and repeatedly illustrated on contemporary culture through, for example, the deep and memorable speech by Orson Welles in the film The Third Man (1949)- the alleged anti-artistic mind of the Swiss.

The basic principles both of his pictorial production and his vastly influent theoretical and teaching activity (he was a professor at the Bauhaus from 1920 to 1931) are well expressed in his metaphor of the tree, whose trunk is the artist. The roots grow according...
