Paul Klee - Hatje Cantz
hand puppets
KORTE INHOUD
Between 1916 and 1925 Paul Klee (1879-1940) made about fifty hand puppets for his son, Felix, of which thirty are still in existence. For the heads, the artist used materials from his own household: beef bones and electrical outlets, bristle brushes, leftover bits of fur, and nutshells. The first costumes were sewn by Sasha Morgenthaler, who later became a well-known puppet maker, but Klee soon took over this task himself.nThe hand puppets are a group of works that do not pretend to be great art, but at the same time, they reflect the artistic and social developments of their time. For instance, the chronological proximity to Dada and the collages by Kurt Schwitters can be seen in Klee's Matchbox Ghost
