The Diaries of Paul Klee 1898-1918

The Diaries of Paul Klee, 1898–1918 offers a revealing look into the private thoughts, artistic development, and inner life of one of the twentieth century’s most influential modern artists. Edited by Felix Klee, this collection follows Paul Klee from his youth and early creative struggles through the years leading up to and including the First World War.

The diaries explore Klee’s reflections on art, music, travel, family, teaching, imagination, and the search for a personal visual language. Readers gain insight into the experiences and ideas that shaped his distinctive approach to colour, line, symbolism, and abstraction.

Thoughtful, intimate, and historically important, this volume is well suited to artists, students, collectors, and readers interested in modern art, artist journals, European culture, and creative process. It offers a rare glimpse into the mind behind Klee’s highly original work.
