A blog-flickr-twitter friend recently mentioned that she saw the influence of Paul Klee in one of my maps. He is indeed a favortite of mine. It’s been a while since I’ve visited with his work so I did a bit of research and found this marvelous image! The original is at MOMA . I can’t wait to visit it in person. I also found a wonderful except about him from one of my favorite books, The Shock of the New by Robert Hughes. I need to re-read that book. It’s been too long.
And then I found that he was also a poet! The book Paul Klee, Poet/Painter by K. Porter Aichele went directly onto my “to-read” list.
A book, a poem and a painting….. A google trifecta!

I think the internet actually looks like that, Peggy. Back in 1914 you had to turn that crank to get it to work.
Thanks for pointing these out-I want to check out his poems as well.

Yes, I believe you are right about that. And the screen was an old cereal box with a hole cut into it so that you could watch the images scroll by….http://home.howstuffworks.com/paper-puppets5.htm
and, of course, there were search engine puppets.
