A print of “Castle and Sun” by Paul Klee on your wall
Ochre, pink, violet and muted red laid out in a chequerboard of towers, with a sun hanging above like a red seal - Castle and Sun is one of Paul Klee's most decorative paintings. A Castle and Sun poster goes beautifully with a minimalist bedroom in the colours of sand and linen, a kitchen with warm wooden fronts, and a study where something calm yet colourful is to hang on the wall. We recommend the horizontal format, in a proportion close to 5:6, above a bed or coffee table; the motif is rhythmic enough to bear enlargement to full-wall wallpaper in a child's room. Dibond gives the mosaic a matt, stone-like nobility; 5 mm acrylic glass deepens the colours and adds brilliance. In the artMonte configurator you enter your own dimensions and we print the picture exactly for your wall.
Paul Klee (1879-1940)
Castle and Sun
About the artwork
A mosaic of rectangles and triangles in ochre, pink, violet and red forms the silhouette of a city with towers and battlements, above which hangs a round, red sun. Klee painted Castle and Sun in 1928, combining his Bauhaus studies of the structure of colour with his love of architecture and fairy-tale landscapes. The painting belongs to a group of works in which the artist builds space from planes of colour alone, without perspective. The work is in a private collection.
