Does anyone else hate Paul Klee? :smile:

Incidentally this is a great conversation starter at cocktail parties

 

I don't hate Paul Klee I just think he's a bit overrated. Though he has produced some stonking work there have been some unforgivable doozies.

There was some painter dude...

 

I think it was linked on this site years ago...

 

He went into a coma for years and was convinced he was in hell.

 

Then he painted it when he came out of the coma.

 

The paintings were fucking awesome.

 

I wish I saved them.

 

lol...zladislaw beksinski, rip. Although the coma/hell story is apocryphal.

yeah you're right, I don't really hate him either, but he's been a bit of a running gag for me since my arts teacher in school said "There would never have been a David Lynch if it wasn't for Paul Klee" - overrated is the word...

HEY perhaps someone in this thread can help me. I went to the British Museum a year or two ago, and there was an exhibiton on of a guy who did illustrations with biro ink straight out of the pen. Then there was wierd sound in the room, a strange installation in the middle of the room and two big prints of photographs. Thats it, and I want to know who it was because I loved it.
