Klee-Melotti - Paperback
by Paul Klee (Artist), Fausto Melotti (Artist), Guido Comis (Editor)
This catalog, for the first time, highlights the relationships and affinities between Swiss-German painter Paul Klee, a leading figure in twentieth-century art, and Fausto Melotti, an Italian artist whose name has become increasingly well known at an international level in recent years, by means of a surprising dialogue between their works.
The catalog compares over seventy paintings, watercolors, and drawings by Klee with some eighty sculptures and drawings by Melotti. A large selection of critical essays and short writings by contemporary artists contribute to casting light on the relationship between these two protagonists of twentieth-century art.
Paul Klee (German, born Switzerland, 1879-1940) was painter, draughtsman, printmaker, teacher and writer. Klee's work forms a major contribution to the history of 20th-century art.
Fausto Melotti (Italian, 1901-1986)was a central figure in the history of Italian twentieth century art. He was first recognized for collaborations with artists and architects, such as Lucio Fontana and Gino Pollini.
