Abstract (en)
Explores the Swiss artist's use of letters in his landscape paintings, focusing on the painting in the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung, Basel, of 1919. Using Klee's Diaries as a compendium of memory images and his "Creative Credo" as a theoretical context, examines the component parts of the Villa R, their possible sources, both literary and pictorial, and the signifying structure that fuses the parts into an internally coherent whole. Issues addressed include Klee's depiction of an initial letter, here and in other works; the artist's poetic-personal idea of landscape, especially in light of his year of travel in Italy which provided the immediate source for Villa R; his use of the window theme; the influence of the art of R. Delaunay; and Klee's relationship to German Romanticism, referred to in the use of the letter R.
