The Twittering Machine :)
Watercolor and ink; oil transfer on paper with gouache and ink borders on cardboard.
Group of birds shackled to a wire attached to a hand crank. Paul Klee
Paul Klee is a big favorite of mine. Funny, whimsical and wise, his work touches the soul IMHO. :)
Factoid:
Originally displayed in Germany, the image was declared
"degenerate art"
by Adolf Hitler in 1933 and sold by the Nazi Party to an art dealer in 1939, whence it made its way to New York. One of the better known of more than 9,000 works produced by Klee, it is among the more famous images of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). It has inspired several musical compositions and, according to a 1987 magazine profile in New York,
has been a popular piece to hang in children's bedrooms.[1]
