Exhibition paul klee biography book

"For Klee, devoting himself to children's drawings was a way of liberating his own creativity from its cultural conditioning.

Inextricably bound up with this is the utopian notion of a synthesis between the mature artist's discriminating approach to picture-making and the child's elementary will to express itself, the 'ideal harmonious totality' of the artist 'who, as it were, never grows out of the simplicity of childhood.'"
Michael Baumgartner, excerpted from Paul Klee--The Discovery of Childhood in Klee and CoBrA: Child's Play.
