In his legendary Pedagogical Sketchbook, Paul Klee takes a theoretical approach to drawing using geometric shapes and lines. Evincing a desire to reunite artistic design and craft, and written in a tone that oscillates between the seeming objectivity of the diagram, the rhetoric of science and mathematics, and an abstract, quasi-mystical intuition, Klee\u2019s text expresses key aspects of the Bauhaus\u2019 pedagogy and guiding philosophies. And while Klee\u2019s method is deeply personal, in the context of the fundamentally multivocal Bauhaus, his individual approach to abstract form is typical in its idiosyncrasy. In this book, he presents his own theory about the relationships between line, shape, surface, and color in the visual space.<br><br>Available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\">Bauhaus<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\">Shop<\/a> or directly from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lars-mueller-publishers.com\/pedagogical-sketchbook\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.lars-mueller-publishers.com\/pedagogical-sketchbook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">publishers<\/a>.<br><br>Please ask our colleagues in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bauhaus<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\">-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop<\/a> for prices and availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2043,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-2815","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"seo_titel":"","keywords":"","noindex":false,"redirect":"","short_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24653,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2815\/revisions\/24653"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
