Fish Magic is a Surrealist painting by Klee, in which he merges a fascinating scene with vivid colors to create one of his most famous works.
It is a painting that arouses mixed emotions in the viewer, and the Fish Magic painting is nothing but this aura. Klee completed this painting in his early years as an artist before losing his life to Scleroderma at the age of 60.
Fish Magic continues to be one of the pieces that engrave the painter's ability to produce something extraordinary by combining different elements into minds.
Fish Magic was created on a panel using watercolor and oil paint. It combines sea, fish, earth flowers, moon, and planetary elements. As if Klee transfers a complex story of the earth, sea, and sky onto the canvas, painting them in a romantic, surreal, and expressionist mood. Water is seen as the intermingling of celestial and earthly beings. The painting is covered with a delicate black paint surface with a dense layer of multicolored pigments underneath. The colored figures were then drawn and shaded on the dark background by Klee. A square of muslin was attached to the center of the painting, giving the painting a collage feel. The dark palette of the painting and the fragility of the muslin create a mysterious and inky atmosphere. It is a masterpiece where Klee's artistic talents reconcile intellectual and creative forces, producing a "sense of magic."
Someone who examines the work of the Swiss-German painter for the first time will certainly confuse it with a kindergarten watercolor study. Until you look carefully at the elements, you realize that Klee is an artistic genius when you understand how they come together to depict a message.
The original painting is currently owned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, curated under its Department of Modern Art.
A few copies of the Fish Magic painting were produced after it was completed and are now being sold online to eager buyers.
Klee is famous for other artistic works that demonstrate his skill as a modern artist. Another remarkable work is his 1922 painting, Twittering Machine. Klee paints a scenario that looks like a fish attached to a bird and a rattling machine with oil paint and canvas.
Both the creatures and the machine they are attached to can appear fragile, dark, or gloomy, depending on the viewer's interpretation. The birds start chirping with the turn of the arm. Other paintings by the artist include Cat & Bird (1928), Ad Parnassum (1932), Red Balloon (1922), and Dream City (1921).
Paul Klee was a Swiss-German trained modern art painter. He enjoyed painting in the surreal, expressionist, and romantic mood that is characteristic of all his paintings. His original paintings are displayed in various museums around the world.
