1929
Highway and Byways by Paul Klee
Highways and Byways, a painting by the Swiss artist Paul Klee, is significant for its synthesis of Klee’s interests in geometric abstraction and music. Klee uses color to evoke a sense of movement and rhythm. It represents a high point in Klee’s career and exemplifies the artist’s innovative approach to painting, which influenced generations of artists in the 20th century, including Vera Molár.
