4.0 out of 5 stars
An intimate look at the art of a great artist,
By Claude Reich (Florianopolis, Brazil and Paris, France) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Paul Klee: Masterpieces of the Djerassi Collection (Hardcover)
This book is the catalogue for a 2002 exhibition of a private collection exclusively devoted to Paul Klee's works, a collection that was built over 40 years by a Vienna-born Californian collector, Doctor Carl Djerassi, who pledged most of it to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The bulk of the collection is formed by a wonderful series of prints, drawings and watercolors, complemented by a few paintings. The book starts with some essays describing how the collection was formed and how the collector's passion was born. The interview of Djerassi is particularly interesting to understand the psyche of a passionate art collector.
The illustrations of some 80 works that follow are good but not outstanding and give a fair idea of Klee's creative power. Do not expect a full retrospective of the artist's career, though; this is not the aim of this book. |
