Paul Klee, a Swiss-born painter, printmaker and draughtsman of German nationality, was originally associated with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, and subsequently taught at the Bauhaus along with his friend and a fellow painter Wassily Kandinsky, the widely influential German art school of the interwar period. His paintings, which are at times fantastic, childlike, or otherwise witty, served as an inspiration to the New York School, as well as many other artists of the 20th century. View Artist Collection

About The Virtue Wagon (to the memory of October 5, 1922)
The Virtue Wagon (to the memory of October 5, 1922) refers to a power struggle that took place on that date during a faculty meeting at the prestigious Bauhaus, Germany's avant-garde, fine and applied art school. With characteristic whimsy and intentionally naïve style, Klee translates the facts of the meeting into an allegorical commentary. The story told in The Virtue Wagon is that of a similar power dispute relayed operatically in Mozart's Magic Flute. The figures riding atop the wagon in Klee's work are the Queen of the Night and her three ladies. In the opera, these symbolic powers of darkness feign high moral purpose in order to deceive and wrest control from those who would do good. Klee's abstract figural forms humorously suggest the psychological realities of human nature.
