More From Paul Klee

It is hard to think of any work of art of which one can say 'this saved the life of one jew, one vietnamese, one cambodian'. specific books, perhaps; but as far as one can tell, no paintings or sculptures. the difference between us and the artists of the 1920's is that they they thought such a work of art could be made. perhaps it was a certain naivete that made them think so. but it is certainly our loss that we cannot.
Art Book Loss
While people are fairly young and the musical composition of their lives is still in its opening bars, they can go about writing it together and sharing motifs (the way tomas and sabina exchanged the motif of the bowler hat), but if they meet when they are older, like franz and sabina, their musical compositions are more or less complete, and every motif, every object, every word means something different to each of them.

I've been around a long time and i've found that these forms, whether it's the cartoon, or whether it's a play, or all these dying forms refuse to die. something happens to rejuvenate them and it will certainly happen to the political cartoon. it will come back. but whether it's on the internet, or whether it's in some other form, however that works, whether it looks the way it looks now, or entirely different, i have no idea. and thank god i don't have to worry about it.

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

My work first engaged with the early russian avant-garde; the paintings of moholy-nagy, el lissitzky's 'prouns' and naum gabo's sculptures, but in particular with the work of kasimir malevitch - he was an early influence for me as a representative of the modern avant-garde intersection between art and design.

The only thing i collect is art. i collect it because i like looking at it. a lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that i bought. i buy abstract art on ebay, and i buy some outsider art on ebay, or what is called folk art, i buy a lot of. i have a lot of professional art work as well as more stuff my friends' kids make. to have a wall of art to look at, i feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.
