"Paul Klee - Late Works"
2003-11-23 until 2004-02-15
Sprengel Museum
Hannover, , DE

Approximately 100 pieces from the Beyerler Foundation collection and from the Sprengel Museum Hannover's permanent collection show some of the first and, indeed, most significant works realised by this important Modern artist late in life. Klee's work at the time was subject to the restraints that came with Hitler's rise to power as well as ill health and exile. These were Klee's most productive years, despite his severe illness, which lead him to further simplify his visual vocabulary, reducing his work to what he considered to be its essentials.

"Paul Klee - Late Works" is part of an exhibition trilogy focussing on Klee (Klee in the North) which is on view not only at the Sprengel Museum Hannover, but also at the Kunsthalle Bremen and Kunsthalle Hamburg.
