Paul Klee: The Nature of Creation
Hayward Gallery, South Bank Centre, London
17 January - 1 April 2002
The Hayward Gallery presents a major exhibition of paintings, watercolours
and drawings by the Swiss artist Paul Klee. Curated by Berlin-based art
historian Robert Kudielka and artist Bridget Riley, Paul Klee: The Nature of
Creation examines, for the first time, Klee’s work from the perspective of his
own thinking and explores diversity as the mainspring of his creative practice.
Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of the 20th century's most influential and much-
loved artists. He is best known for his vibrant colour compositions, cosmic
metaphors and fantastic landscapes. Much has been made of their
inventiveness and of their humour; however Klee’s charm as a storyteller
conceals a profound exploration of picture-making which produced one of the
most original bodies of work realised by a modern artist.
Over 90 of Klee’s most important works made between 1914 and 1940 are
presented in this single showing at the Hayward Gallery.
