Garden Sheds Online Questions
Paul Klee, The Rose Garden. Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
I have a print of the Rose Garden (1920) by Paul Klee. Have a look online it's available from many printers. I can't find any information on it at all. (I know my local library would have plenty of books about this but, I don't have time.)
Does any one know anything about this? There is a lot of 'imagery' in there which I'd like to have explained.
Paul Klee said ..."'Art does not reproduce the visible but makes visible.'
This artist must have experienced pure pleasure knowing that future generations would participate in the process of discovering the objects in his paintings...objects that they had not realized were in the paintings on its first viewing.
This painting is also called Rose Garden (The Golden Fish) & if you take another look at the painting, the fish will become visible right in the center of the painting. What looked like a rose...now becomes the eye of the fish. LOL
The visible becomes visible once you take a second look :

In his painting of The Rose Garden, he broke down the scene into well-defined lines & colored it with various patches of a single color. He outlined blocks of different objects in the picture (such as a church, tower, fish, etc.) before adding various tones of a single color to create depth & a multi-dimensional picture. The effect is that you see something new each time you look at the picture from a different perspective. It looks like a patch-work quilt ...but with more dimension.
" Cubism had a heavy influence on Swiss-born artist and graphic designer Paul Klee, as demonstrated by the flat 2 dimensional planes and geometric shapes in this painting of 'The Rose Garden'; but his ambitions with colour never faltered and in this painting we see the experimenting of mostly using one colour, pink, but in umpteen sumptuous tones."

Here are some excerpts about Paul Klee, from Bridget Riley, who is Britain's foremost abstract painter:
" Klee was the first artist to point out that for the painter the meaning of abstraction lay in the opposite direction to the intellectual effort of abstracting: it is not an end, but the beginning. Every painter starts with elements - lines, colours, forms - which are essentially abstract in relation to the pictorial experience that can be created with them...
Klee's penetration may have been supported by the fact that he himself was not a rigorous abstract painter ... This may have given him the detachment that enabled him to accept that abstraction had always been at the root of the art of painting... The only really 'new' development of the twentieth century was that the abstractness of picture-making rose to the surface, literally and metaphorically.
Any element that enters the picture plane, be it a line, a spot of colour or a tonal shade, is liable to create the sensation of depth. This is so real to our perception that it does not have to be fabricated as an 'illusion'.
'Art does not reproduce the visible but makes visible.'
It is rather the form in which Klee articulates a rather complex group of sensations that is important - sensations that, by the way, are also about creation. He articulates these so fully and precisely that one wants to return to the drawing over and over again, just for the joy of seeing it become visible once more.
Above all, a visual work of art seems to be capable of providing the pleasure of participating in the process that generates the visible.
Or, as Klee says: 'The picture has no particular purpose. It only has the purpose of making us happy. That is something very different from a relationship to external life, and so it must be organised differently. We want to see an achievement in our picture, a particular achievement. It should be something that preoccupies us, something we wish to see frequently and possess in the end. It is only then that we can know whether it makes us happy.' "

Tim...If you have delighted in the discovery process while looking again at your print of the Rose Garden, then imagine how delighted you would have been if you were Paul Klee.....how he must have anticipated with glee how others would react in unlocking the objects 'hidden' in clear sight in his paintings.
Good luck!!! Hope this helps.
