Art Appreciation/Education ping. Let me know if you want on or off this list.
Our next "class" will be about Surrealism. Klee is not part of the Magic Surrealism (which included Dali and his "melting clocks"). Instead, he belongs to Biormophic Surrealism, which includes the work of Miro, and which deals with organic images coming from deep inside and which often don't bear much resemblance to external reality.

Don't forget some of Dali's post 1940 "classic" works.

How about a bit more on Biormophic Surrealism, before we move on to Surrealism?

Can we spend a bit more time on Miro? This work and some others reminds me of Kandinsky
Chiffres et Constellations
