Paul Klee at the LaM museum: a painter who drew his modernity everywhere

Paul Klee, it is this beautiful face, at the same time full and questioning, which looks at the objective of his son Felix, in Possenhofen, in 1921. The painter is at work and his work plan is of a modesty striking, small silversmith's stall, like the simple sheet covering the armchair where the Fripouille cat sleeps. He has that dreamy frankness that is the very signature of this artist of the sweet mystery, born in 1879 near Bern, Switzerland. His father, German, teaches music. Her mother, Swiss from Besançon, trained as a classical singer at the Stuttgart Conservatory, but gave up her career for health reasons. Music and arts will punctuate his life, giving his paintings this light breeze, this virtuosity of colors and composition that looks as simple as child's play.Childrens drawings? This is one of the key ideas of "Paul Klee, entre-mondes", a reinterpretation of the work of the musician of modern art that the LaM clears like a treasure hunt in Villeneuve-d'Ascq.
