Paul Klee. Melody and Rhythm

Throughout his entire life, Paul Klee was inspired by music: he was an accomplished violinist, an enthusiastic opera and concert-lover and an acerbic music critic. For a long time he was undecided whether to become a painter or a musician. In his diary he called music his «lover», while painting was his «brush goddess reeking of oil, whom I only embrace because, well, she is my wife».
