So I have been on a journey to read up more about artists that I like and that influence creators on a daily basis. This week's fascination is Paul Klee. It is amazing to see how much difference Klee has made to the entire constitution of modern art. It seems like the more I read about him, the more there is to him.
He had a problem with color in the initial years of his career. Born to musicians, he was also a musician at heart. But like most artists, he was good at more than one channel of creation. He never gave up on finding color.
He kept in-depth journals of his works and ideas. I struggle with this part of my work. I carry all my ideas in my head and at the end of a series, I risk losing my idea at the start of the series. Even at school that is the one thing that my instructor-with-a-cool-french-name keeps insisting I should do. Make short notes, make small drawings, keep an account of your works.
So my lesson for the day, START A WORK JOURNAL.
So much to learn from the masters....
