Sobre el libro Paul Klee: the nature of creation. Works 1914-1940 de Robert Kudielka i Bridget Riley publicado por Lund Humphries al 2002:

This study explores diversity as the mainspring of Klee´s creative practice. Drawing on Klee´s own classifications for his work, along with those of distinguished Klee scholars, the book traces the development of the artist´s rich visual language not as a single line of enquiry, but as a series of movements, counter-movements and interconnections.By the time of his death in 1940, Klee was an acknowledged modern master, his fame and influence both as an artist and a teacher recognized throughout the western world. However, his work lost prominence for many years from the early 1960s, only re-emerging into view in much later years.Featuring an essay by Robert Kudielka, Professor of Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art at the Universitat der Kunste, Berlin, along with a personal response to Klee´s work by renowned British artist Bridget Riley, this book brings to the fore the seminal role Klee had in the development of 20th-century art and signals the ongoing relevance of his work.
