Café culturel Paul Klee Ezzahra

PAUL KLEE (German Swiss painter born in Bern on December 18, 1879 and died in Switzerland on June 29, 1940).

Thus, we can hardly think modernity without Paul Klee who found, during his trip to Tunisia, more exactly in Saint Germain, where he stayed 100 meters from our café, the inspirations of shapes and colors for his compositions based on abstraction, notably architecture, calligraphic arts, letters and arabesques, as well as the weaving patterns that have permanently fascinated him and whose imprint is visible in his immense work. His motto was: "Art does not reproduce the visible, but makes visible." A whole generation of artists has been influenced by him. Light and colors became a central theme of 20th century painting. Like a red thread, art is today, and internationally, marked by abstraction in all possible variants.
