Details: Paul Klee DER GOLDEN FISCH Deitz Offizin Vintage Reproduction Limited Edition Oil Water Color Painting German Expressionist Bauhaus Aquatic Surrealist

Paul Klee, a Swiss-born painter, printmaker and draughtsman of German nationality, was originally associated with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, and subsequently taught at the Bauhaus, the widely influential German art school of the interwar period. Klee's diverse body of work cannot, however, be categorized according to any single artistic movement, or "school." His paintings, which are at times fantastic, childlike, or otherwise witty, served as an inspiration to the New York School, as well as many other artists of the 20th century.

This vintage Deitz Offizin limited edition reproduction is of Paul Klee's Der Goldfisch, which is curently in the permanent collection of The Hamburger Kunsthalle. The work is paint on board and is numbered 27 of 300. The painting depicts a large vibrant gold yellow fish in the center surrounded by smaller red fish and blue plants. The background is a dark blue and both the smaller fish and plants are rendered in a pictographic or child like fashion, which offset the frenetic mesmerizing style of the goldfish creating a wonderful visual balance.The painting measures approximately 27.75" x 19.75"
