PAUL KLEE, Ein Antlitz auch des Leibes, 1939
Exhibition poster
85 × 60 cm (33.5 × 23.6 in)
Unframed
Kalkeriet is pleased to present, in collaboration with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, a poster from the 2012 exhibition Klee & Cobra, featuring the work 'Ein Antlitz auch des Leibes – A Face Also of the Body' (1939) by Swiss artist Paul Klee (1879–1940).
The Klee & Cobra exhibition was the first to explore the artistic and conceptual relationship between Paul Klee and the Cobra movement (1948–51). For artists such as Asger Jorn, Carl-Henning Pedersen, Ejler Bille, and Corneille, Klee’s work—particularly after World War II—served as a guiding light. Like Klee, these Danish abstract artists were drawn to the immediacy and spontaneity found in children’s art. The child’s uninhibited ability to express emotion and imagination through imagery was a powerful source of inspiration for both Klee and the Cobra painters.
A shared fascination with the image-making primal force links Klee to Cobra, and the exhibition revealed striking parallels across their works. Through comparison and contrast, the show focused on key recurring themes—children, acrobatics, animals, war, and masks—that define the visual language of both Klee and the Cobra movement.
