Paul Klee 1933
Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg
The Contrary Arrow. In the course of 1933 Klee produced over 200 drawings, done in both pencil and oil-based chalk, with themes relating to current events: from education and militarism, persecution and anti-Semitism to art and sexuality. Klee's drawings are not illustrations; disguised as parodies, they are clear denouncements of National Socialism in the year the Nazis seized power.
The Contrary Arrow
12 December 2003 - 7 March 2004
In April 1933, having been appointed a professor at the State Art Academy in Düsseldorf only two years ago, Paul Klee was dismissed without notice by the National Socialists. In the face of the alarming political developments, Klee left Germany in December 1933, never to return.
In the course of 1933 Klee produced over 200 drawings, done in both pencil and oil-based chalk, with themes relating to current events: from education and militarism, persecution and anti-Semitism to art and sexuality. Klee's drawings are not illustrations; disguised as parodies, they are clear denouncements of National Socialism in the year the Nazis seized power.
This group of around 80 drawings is now being presented to the public for the first time, supplemented by thematically related works in colour dating from the same year. A richly illustrated catalogue (328 pages) has been published to accompany the exhibition and is available, priced EUR 23, from the museum shop
