Paul Klee, best known for his mastery of colour and semi-abstract patchwork paintings of squares, completed more than 10,000 paintings, drawings and etchings during his lifetime. His work is difficult to classify but widely admired and highly sought after. Carl Djerassi, scientist, novelist, philanthropist, most famous for inventing the birth control pill, was a great fan of Klee and amassed an important private collection of his work. This catalogue reproduces highlights from Djerassi's collection, now owned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, including full-colour images of nearly 100 works. These drawings, sketches, gouache and watercolours reflect of whole of Klee's short but prolific career. The text includes background and critical commentary from noted Klee experts. In addition, an interview with Djerassi reveals his artistic endeavours and passion for Klee.
