E. Moo Young's Abstract Art Flyer #2

I've been compiling some of my artworks in the form of a flyer to show how I've been creating and evolving. The works include paintings, mixed media collage, drawings and experimentations with digital fusions.
I'm reminded of an observation on Paul Klee- he worked as if no art existed before and he started from scratch, making the work 'render visible'. That is, the work is in the paper and he had to work to bring it out, to make it visible. So I'm always excited by what is to come each time I approach the paper and start working. What new form, technique or meaning can I bring in to existence. The approach is quite different each time and the results are, I think, unique.

Above are some of my output.

Your comments are important.

Paul Klee's Pictorial Universe

One of the artist that I've read about avidly, is Paul Klee. Born in 1879, his was a brilliant career that incorporated Cubism, and the German alternative to Cubism - German Expressionism. Working with his friend Wassily Kandinsky, considered the father of Abstract art, as tutors at the Bauhaus. Much is written about both artists.

Today I wanted to draw reference to the wide ranging subject matter and sources, Klee incorporated in his inventions.

Phillip Larson wrote " His internal source books laid out Cubist frameworks, stratified color charts, calligraphic flourishes, children's drawings, proto-Surrealist doodles, toys and puppets, caricatures, tribal masks, minute zoological/biological specimens, architectural/theatrical perspectives, pictographs/hieroglyphs, and, of course, all keys to the German typewriter. To this day, no historian has secured the critical perimeters around the prodigious collector-progenitor."

His love for music, musical instruments and the theatre were also depicted in numerous drawings and paintings.
