Paul Klee, 1879 - 1940
PAUL KLEE
1879 - 1940


Paul was a German / Swiss painter. His parents were musicians.

Paul knew how to play the violin and his parents let him play in the Bern symphony orchestra. He would've liked to be a writer but painting turned out to be his thing of focus.

Paul married Lily Stumpf. The year? 1906. Lily was a pianist, which was good because by means of piano lessons she was able to bring some money home.

Some success for Paul Klee in 1911, however, when he was able to contribute some cartoon drawings for Voltaire's novel Candide.
