Paul Klee: Philosophical Vision- From Nature to Art Details
Review “As a burgeoning artist, Paul Klee recognized the seminal roles of philosophy and poetry in his artistic creations even as he worried that the plastic arts might be neglected in his pursuit of an original modern vision. By the end of his life, Klee has produced approximately 9,000 works of art and a number of significant theoretical treatises. Sallis (Boston College), joined by 11 colleagues in philosophy and three art historians, ambitiously probes the deep philosophical significance of Klee’s art and thought in a dense and highly rewarding collection of essays. . . . Highly recommended.” (J. Simon, University of Georgia Choice) Read more About the Author John Sallis is the Frederick J. Adelmann, S.J. Professor of Philosophy at Boston College.
