Product information "Paul Klee: Picture 'Sailing ships waiting out the storm' (1917), framed"

The 'seascape' is a genre in its own right. Originating from the understandable pride of ownership of rich shipowners who wanted their ships to be depicted, over time it became a subject that fascinated great painters per se, even inspiring them to incredible artistic experiments - just think of William Turner. But modernism also loved ships and the sea. For example, the great pointillist Henri-Edmond Cross (1856-1910) and, a generation later, the 'unique' Paul Klee (1879-1940).Paul Klee: 'Segelschiffe den Sturm abwartend': Original: 1917, watercolour, gouache and pencil on two-part cardboard, privately owned.
