About this Artwork:The History of Klee & KandinskyPost-war art would have looked different without Klee's and Kandinsky's fruitful experiments. Kandinsky, with his pure form and color expressionism, Klee, with his poetic fantasy art.Klee and Kandinsky were of great importance for the development of Danish abstract art in both the 30s and 40s.Together, with a few other artists, the two created a pictorial language whose syntax was new and unknown.Exhibiting both masters, together, gave attendees the rare opportunity to see the interplay between their works, and provide a visual opportunity to become familiar with parts of modern art history.Kandinsky's first, abstract watercolor from 1910 and Klee's last painting from 1940, mark important fixed points.Kandinsky left Russia in 1922 and at the Bauhaus School in Weimar he got Paul Klee as a colleague. It became one of the most fruitful and enduring friendships in modern art, where the two worked and exhibited in parallel through some of the most crucial years of their careers.
