About the piece
Created in 1917, Paul Klee’s "Severe Landscape in Blue" demonstrates his masterful transition toward abstraction. The composition uses a grid of cool blues and purples punctuated by warm ochre and a single white building, creating a rhythmic, contemplative scene that balances modernist structure with lyrical color.
