Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 49 works by Paul Klee (1879–1940) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Klee worked on a small scale with extraordinary inventiveness — paintings, drawings, watercolours — and his works reward the closest possible looking. In person, the materials and surfaces are as interesting as the imagery: wax, oil, chalk, on paper, linen, and burlap.
