The artist attached great importance to the act of drawing, and in particular to the line as the principle from which the realization and visual generation of an idea emanate. This aspect of Klee's aer caught the interest of collectors Sylvie and Jorge Helft, who over almost five decades have assembled some seventy of Klee's pencil, pen, and pastel drawings, as well as watercolors, etchings, and lithographs, created by the artist between 1914 and 1940. The Helfts' Klee collection forms an extraordinarily coherent whole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museo d'arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI) in Lugano, features for the first time this unique selection from Klee's oeuvre. A conversation between the Helfts and MASI's director Tobia Bezzola, as well as essays by philosopher Francisco Jarauta, art and literary critic Juan Manuel Bonet, and art dealer and curator Achim Moeller, round out this lavishly illustrated volume. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrancesca Bernasconi\u003c\/b\u003e is an art historian and head of the exhibition office at MASI Lugano, where \u003cb\u003eArianna Quaglio \u003c\/b\u003eserves as a junior curator. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.18 x 10.79 x 8.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53099656839392,"sku":"9783039421077","price":90.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/iesI8MlsYP9783039421077.webp?v=1781709110","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/paul-klee-the-sylvie-and-jorge-helft-collection-hardcover","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
