Homage to Paul Klee.

I thought of Kee when I saw this composition while out shooting pictures the other day. It reminded me of his graphic free form images. I saw it as dancing figures in the style of Klee. (At least some, that I could remember)

Paul Klee 18 December 1879 – 29 June 1940) was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, and is considered both a Swiss and a German painter. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was, as well, a student of Orientalism.
(From Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Klee

“Klee often incorporated letters and numerals into his paintings, as in Once Emerged from the Gray of Night (1917-18; Klee Foundation, Berlin). These, part of Klee's complex language of symbols and signs, are drawn from the unconscious and used to obtain a poetic amalgam of abstraction and reality. He wrote that "Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible," and he pursued this goal in a wide range of media using an amazingly inventive battery of techniques. Line and color predominate with Klee, but he also produced series of works that explore mosaic and other effects.” Web Museum Paris)
