In 1914, on a trip to Tunisia he experienced what he described as, «the revelation of colour», which inspired him to paint abstract art. He lived through both World Wars, during which he continued to paint and exhibit. Experimental and hardworking, Klee contributed to many art movements, including Bauhaus, always working on colour, light and the link between music and painting. Celebrated during his lifetime, he is now recognised as a major figure in modern art. His paintings are a true love letter to colour. He left behind a body of work with nearly 10,000 pieces.
