| III. Illness as a Caesura | |
|
| The next turning point comes in 1935. Klee falls seriously ill. In the course of the following, especially difficult year, his illness is diagnosed as incurable scleroderma, a hardening of the skin. At this point his late oeuvre can be said to begin. Initially, illness brings Klee’s productivity almost to a standstill – only 25 works emerge. The present exhibition includes a few outstanding works of these two years, in which personal tragedy compounded the artist’s political persecution. |
