Paul Klee takes art elements of line, shape, space, form, texture, colour as the building blocks of a visual language. Like music notes creating wind or water sounds or sounds of a person breathing or walking up flights of steps, the music composer expresses his imaginative story. Klee, the art composer,  tells stories of imaginative worlds with improvisations using art elements. His stories of sensations and fancies with striking combinations of textures and colours; lines and shapes; forms with space or volume, evoke unexperienced feelings and ideas. This is my fascination with the works of Paul Klee. I feel new feelings. See new things. I am encouraged with his boldness in embracing the unpredictables. These videos shared by admirers are enrichments for me in enjoying Paul Klee anew. Share my joy. loaded by pixels2u on Sep 28, 2010 The lovely, hypnotic tune is "Water Down the Ganges" by Prem Joshua and Manish Vyas (available on iTunes, whole album is wonderful.)

Here is an appropriate introduction to Paul Klee's paintings. Through feelings, the music takes us into the sensory aspects of his colours and lines. Then the dimension of his mind in developing the compositional arrangements of his colours and lines become significant. Uploaded by arwen987 on Jul 20, 2009 Paul Klee (18 December 1879 29 June 1940) was a Swiss painter of German nationality. His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He was, as well, a student of orientalism. Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered color theory, and wrote extensively about it. His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes child-like perspective, his personal moods and beliefs, and his musicality. He and his friend, the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the German Bauhaus school of art and architecture.

You are over the moon with your first kiss. Once in a blue moon, the excitement of the first kiss carries on into old age. But hardly has anyone been moon-struck over this carry-on excitement as an aspiration. The moon, however, has always a mysterious pull over lovers. Billions and billions have gazed at the same moon since it first came into view and had their imagination stirred with amazing responses. And here is one. The moon. A camera. An artist.

I find the works of Dong Kingman delightful. His townscapes, of glitzy high rises or back-street sardine-packed scruffiness,  have a charm of individuality. He can stitch together shapes of bridges and boats; sky, water and sand; fences, stately ornaments, quaint vehicles and graffitti-covered walls with eccentric people in familiar postures; pigeons and cats and cute everyday stuff with a touch of humour. A remarkable man, with an eye for the common sights in an ordinary place, he sees the new meaning in them and paints them in striking surprises. Thus his body of works gives joy and refreshment to many who share his attitude towards creativity. How does Dong Kingman work? Where does he get his content from? What are his subject preferences? How does he approach his paintings? With curious questions like these to awaken the appreciation, enjoy the following as I have:
