Frame
The frame has a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and an unobtrusive design. The frame is made of high-quality plastic (PS), which ensures durability while maintaining a lightweight design. The dimensions of the frame include a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 3 cm, which makes it capacious enough to reliably support canvas of various sizes. This frame is perfect for contemporary art styles including abstraction, minimalism and pop art due to its flawless simplicity. Its white color provides a versatile background that can accommodate a wide range of colors, bright hues that benefit from contrasting borders, or black and white elements that need a consistent tonal framework to retain their vibrancy.
During a trip that Paul Klee made to Tunisia for two weeks together with Louis Moilliet and August Macke in August 1914, Klee and Moilliet spent Easter weekend in St. Germain near Tunis. On the evening of Easter Sunday, Klee wrote in his diary: “The evening is indescribable. And to top it all, there’s a full moon rising. Louis pushes me: I should paint it. I say: It’ll be an exercise at best. Naturally I fail vis-à-vis nature. But I’ve learned something. I know the way from my failure to nature. That is a personal affair for the coming years.” In these words, like in the example of the aquarelle, art seems to be something independent, for which a natural model is, however, necessary: Houses, the sea and the moon are reduced to their basic forms and more hinted at than depicted. There are also fields which seem just abstract forms if you are unaware of what Klee was looking at. It is in this state suspended between abstraction and figuration – and naturally also in the subtle harmony of colors in the depiction – that the special quality of this work lies.
