Arctic Dew

Klee began drawing oil paintings around 1920 when Arctic Dew was produced. Rhythmical waving lines in the middle of the painting constitute symmetrical axes to divide the landscape into the upper and lower parts. The sun and waves of colors like northern lights in the upper part are reflected on the water surface in the lower part. Arctic Dew is a masterpiece of Klee’s oil paintings depicting his imagined scenery where viewers find clear air and the sun light.
