Once Emerged From the Gray of Night 1918 — Fine Art

The title Once Emerged From the Gray of Night 1918 points to a dark field opening into light.

Paul Klee often built such scenes with thin lines and small colour patches, working in a Bauhaus line practice and expressionist mark making.

A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel shows the marks as they are, with no gloss to flatten the greys. On a bedroom wall near a reading lamp the dark band sits low and the lighter patches catch the warm glow before you turn off the light.
