Galerie Mont Place-Signs – Paul Klee^ Klee

Paul Klee often visited the Mediterranean region and was fascinated by its archaeological sites. Lieu-Signes probably represents one of these places. Like an archaeologist, the artist brings objects to the surface, such as a ladder, a building, a ball and a bowl, and places them on the canvas in the same way that an archaeologist would place his findings on the ground in front of him. The eyes, the spade and the cross act as more symbolic excavations, evoking the way meaning and understanding emanate from this visual site.
