Reviews
The first analysis of Klee to deal historically and critically with the artist's sign language. Born in Switzerland a generation after Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, Klee was interested in the nature of visual and linguistic signification, and his theories are remarkably prescient to structuralist and post-structuralist theory. The two essays that make up this book, and a useful introduction, shed a powerful light on verbal-visual relations in Klee, as well as on wider problems of meaning in twentieth century art.
