Klee, Paul (1879-1940), Swiss painter, resident in Germany from 1906. He joined Kandinsky's Blaue Reiter group in 1912 and later taught at the Bauhaus (1920- 33). His work is characterized by his sense of colour and moves freely between abstraction and figuration. Although some of his paintings have a childlike quality, his later work became increasingly sombre.
