Paul Klee’s late work is characterised by an incomparably prolific period, especially where drawings are concerned. In a letter dated 2 January 1940 to his friend, the art historian Will Grohmann, Klee writes: «It has been a rich year for drawings. Never have I drawn as much, and never with greater intensity. Twelve hundred numbers in 1939 has to be a record.»
