Paul Klee: "A line is a dot that went for a walk"

• "The pictorial work was born of movement, is itself recorded movement, and is assimilated through movement (eye muscles)".

• "Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible".

• "It is interesting to observe how real the object remains, in spite of all abstractions".

• "Everything vanishes around me, and works are born as if out of the void. Ripe, graphic fruits fall off. My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will".

• "One eye sees, the other feels".

• "A single day is enough to make us a little larger or, another time, a little smaller".

• "A line is a dot that went for a walk".

• "All the things an artist must be: poet, explorer of nature, philosopher!"

• "The artist does not ascribe to the natural form of appearance the same convincing significance as the realists who are his critics. He does not feel so intimately bound to that reality, because he cannot see in the formal products of nature the essence of the creative process. He is more concerned with formative powers than with formal products.".
