Paul Klee

Art does not reproduce what is visible, it makes things visible.

Color has got me. I no longer need to chase after it. It has got me for ever. I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour.

Art does not reproduce what we see. It makes us see.

A line is a dot that went for a walk.

One eye sees, the other feels.

When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.

The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.

Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.

Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.

Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.

Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn.

A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller.

Art does not reproduce the visible rather it makes it visible.

The more horrifying this world becomes the more art becomes abstract.
