Oil on Canvas Mounted on Panel

    Klee was devoted to an ideal of painting that stemmed from German idealist metaphysics. He wrote a book called The Thinking Eye which tried to make a science of art and design, conceiving of visual equivalents for spiritual states. Klee's images were symbols and signs that were an abstract visual language like musical notes are for music. The simplified female figure carrying a basket with fruit on her head, the coil shape, the numbers and dots make a pattern of symbols that pulsate with energy on the painting.
