A print of “Senecio” by Paul Klee on your wall
A warm orange-red face composed of geometric fields, with one eye slightly askew and a smile hidden in the shape - Klee's Senecio is a portrait that lifts the mood of any interior. A print of Senecio suits a living room in warm beiges and terracotta, a mid-century hallway with walnut furniture, and a child's room or a studio where geometry and colour are meant to inspire. The original is almost square, so we recommend a square or slightly vertical crop in a size of 50 to 100 cm, hung at eye level. On Dispa board, light and eco-friendly, the picture keeps the soft, matt texture reminiscent of the gauze of the original; on 5 mm acrylic glass the oranges glow like stained glass. Klee wall art in a size you choose yourself - the artMonte configurator accepts any dimensions, and we match the print to your space.

Senecio
About the artwork
A round face built of rectangles and triangles in shades of orange, red and yellow looks at the viewer with two asymmetrical eyes; one eyebrow is raised higher, and the whole resembles a mask or a sun. Klee painted Senecio in 1922, while working at the Bauhaus, where he taught the theory of colour and form. The subtitle Baldgreis, meaning soon to be an old man, adds a touch of irony to the picture. The small-format work belongs to the Kunstmuseum Basel.
