Artists

Paul Klee
Swiss-born painter Paul Klee (1879-1940) has long enjoyed a warm reception in Japan, where many exhibitions of his work have been held over the years. This, however, is the first Klee exhibition to be held at The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and attempts to take a slightly different approach by examining how his paintings were physically constructed. Special emphasis will be placed on his atelier, where Klee researched and refined his painting techniques.

On display are a total of 180 works mainly drawn from the collection of the Paul Klee Center in Switzerland. See website for details on related events such as readings and lectures.
