Exploring the interplay of word and image in Paul Klee's post-WWI work, the book examines why Klee focused on combining visual and textual elements amidst a predominantly visual avant-garde movement. The author argues that Klee's creations invite contemplative viewing, akin to reading, while also reflecting concerns about emerging technologies like film and radio. This unique perspective highlights Klee's engagement with literary dimensions in visual art, serving as both a critique and playful interaction with modernist theories and practices.
