About the piece
Created during Paul Klee's transformative 1914 journey to Tunisia, this work represents a pivotal moment in the artist's career as he mastered the use of color. Through a series of overlapping watercolor washes and a modular grid structure, Klee translates the atmosphere and architectural geometry of Hammamet into a timeless modernist masterpiece.
