Paul Klee / Nika Hulton
An Approach to Paul Klee
Phoenix House, London, 1956
A first-edition study of Paul Klee by Nika Hulton, published in London by Phoenix House in 1956.
The book presents an accessible introduction to Klee’s life and artistic development, tracing his work from his early years through the Bauhaus period and later career. Hulton combines biographical context with close discussion of the artist’s imagery, colour, symbolism and distinctive visual language.
Illustrated with eight colour plates and twenty-five monochrome plates, including a portrait, the volume offers a period perspective on Klee only sixteen years after his death. Contemporary reviews noted that Hulton’s selection represented all of Klee’s major periods from 1905 to 1938.
