paul klee has been called many things: a father of abstract art, a bauhaus master, the progenitor of surrealism —a very hard man to pin down.
klee's weird paintings are tied to numerous groundbreaking 20th-century movements, from german expressionism to dada.

what's klee's mark?
*anaglyptographic skills (his mark appears to be carved in low relief).
*mystical symbols (glowing stars and suns, topsy-turvy checkerboards, disembodied heads).
* children doodlings,
* incorporating the art of people with psychological disorder ("they have the power to see").
