Growth of the Night Plants 1922 — Fine Art

Growth of the Night Plants 1922 opens on small plant forms that rise from a dark field. Thin pencil lines and soft colour patches build the shapes. The marks look hand drawn and the colours stay quiet. Paul Klee worked with this kind of mixed drawing and painting on paper.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The frame carries a white finish, so the edge of the image reads clean against the colours inside. That border keeps the small marks from running off the edge. You get a clear line around the picture when you hang it up.

It fits on a narrow study wall above a desk, where the lamp throws a warm pool onto the page. From that spot you notice the plant lines first and the dark ground second.
