Between 1916 and 1925 Paul Klee made some 50 hand puppets for his son, Felix, of which 30 are still in existence. He used material from his home for the heads (beef bones, electrical outlets, bristle brushes, nutshells) and sewed costumes.

Paul Klee has inspired many painters, including myself. As suche he deserves a lot of respect.
Your'e welcome, Monique.
Klee is an amazing artist.
In these puppets I see all the love of a father for his son.

bolingo69, thanks for your blog website, the art is astoundingly intricate and beautiful. especially interesting the covers from indian music. but, i am pretty computer illiterate and so am still trying to work out whether there is music to accompany the art. icing on the cake.
Hi,
To listen to the music, just click on the word "Music" at the end of each post and the link there will take you to the download! Good luck with your own blog!
Amicably yours/ Bolingo
come and see the work of Paul Klee at the Paul Klee Zentrum in Berne/Switzerland.
Welcome, Harald Jenk.
