26. Paul Klee (1879-1940) The Twittering Machine Watercolor, pen and ink 1922 25 x 19” Swiss-born, lived in Germany His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. Klee experimented with and mastered color theory, and wrote extensively about it. His works reflect his dry humor and his sometimes child-like perspective. He and his friend, the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the German Bauhaus school of art and architecture.

29. Rene Magritte (1898-1967), Belgian. Time Transfixed, 1938, oil on canvas, 58 x 38 “ Magritte’s work often displays a mingling of ordinary objects in unusual contexts, giving new meaning to familiar things. The representational use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting. In Magritte’s painting of an apple, he painted the fruit realistically and then used an internal caption to deny that the item was an apple. Magritte points out that no matter how closely, through realism-art, we come to depicting an item accurately, we never do catch the item itself.

33. Joan Miró (1893-1983) Spanish His work is considered Surrealist, filled with childlike imagery referring to the subconscious mind.

They attacked the meaninglessness of war and all forms of cultural standard and artistic activity, and gave themselves this nonsense name. The movement spread to New York, Berlin, Paris...and its impact is still strongly felt today.

38. DADA ART Jean Hans Arp (1887-1966), French/German Sculptor and collagist Collage Arranged According to the Laws of Chance 19 x 14” 1916 Torn and pasted papers Arp created collages by cutting bits of paper and floating them to the floor; he made the resulting accidental arrangement permanent by gluing the pieces to a sheet of paper.

41. Max Ernst (1891-1976) German “L’Ange du Foyer” Oil on canvas, 1937 Ernst developed a fascination with birds that was prevalent in his work. His alter ego in paintings, which he called Loplop, was a bird. He suggested this alter-ego was an extension of himself stemming from an early confusion of birds and humans.

43. Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) German Construction for Noble Ladies, 1919, Mixed-media assemblage of wood, metal and paint 40 x 33” Dada was a protest against traditional art forms. Schwitters gathered found objects, glued them down, added paint, and called these partially 3-dimensional objects “assemblages.” Such use of found materials was a challenge to the artistic tradition in the early 20th century. This format is no longer considered avant-garde, and has become part of our ongoing pictorial tradition. Schwitters’ influence is very apparent in the contemporary work of Robert Rauschenberg
