Paul Klee – Willst du bei mir bleiben auf dieser weiten Reise?

❀

Willst du bei mir bleiben, von jetzt an bis zum Schluss?

Willst du mein Zuhause sein in diesem großen Zirkus?

Willst du bei mir bleiben auf dieser weiten Reise?

Bis der letzte Vorhang fällt für uns Beide.

Paul Klee

Paul Klee, Halbkreis zu Winkligem, Semi-circle with angular features, 1932

Vuoi restare con me d’ora in poi fino alla fine?
Vuoi essermi casa in questo grande circo?
Vuoi restare con me in questo lungo viaggio?
Finché calerà l’ultimo sipario per noi due.

Dancer: Paul Klee, 1932

Ich malte und malte, und plötzlich – ich weiß nicht warum – musste ich tanzen. Ich tanze sonst nie.

I painted and painted and all of a sudden – I don’t know why – I had to dance. I never dance, usually.

Paul Klee to Georg Muche, 1921

Paul Klee

Swiss-born Paul Klee (1879 – 1940) was talented in both music and art, playing the violin from a young age. His father, a German music teacher, and his mother, a Swiss singer, encouraged him to develop his musical talents; his grandmother, Anna Catharina Rosina Frick, on the other hand, gave Klee his first lessons in drawing and coloring.

His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was also a student of orientalism.

¿Quieres quedarte conmigo hasta el final?
¿Quieres ser mi casa en este gran circo?
¿Quieres acompañarme en este largo viaje?
Hasta que caiga el último telón por nosotros dos.
