Nearly fifty years after the last big French retrospective, the Pompidou Centre has gathered 230 works by Paul Klee for a comprehensive view of his work. Not to be missed!

Here’s all the info.

It’s rare to see so much of Klee’s work in one place at one time. This new exhibition lets visitors see how the artist used irony inspired by early German romanticism.

Organised into seven themed sections, the exhibition shows every evolution in his work:

– “Satirical beginnings”
– “Klee and Cubism”
– “Mechanical theatre” (in line with Dada and Surrealism)
– “Klee and Constructivisms”
– “Looking back” (the 1930s)
– “Klee and Picasso”
– “The crisis years» (marked by Nazi policies, war and illness)”

Together with the numerous paintings, you’ll also see the artist’s sculptures and drawings.

To explore Klee’s work further, there’s an international seminar asking  “What’s new in research on Paul Klee?”, there are sevevral workshops for kids and families, and a catalogue is being published (312 pages, 300 illustrations, 45€ here at amazon.fr).

The exhibition Paul Klee, l’ironie à l’œuvre is at the Pompidou Centre (here) from 6th April-1st August 2016

Open every day from 11am-9pm

Admission (covers the whole museum): 14€ / 11€
