Who painted this picture?

Known for his unique pictorial language and innovative teachings, Swiss-born painter, professor, and violinist Paul Klee (1879-1940) was fascinated with the candor and originality of children's art. His humorous, playful, and fantastic subjects convey a whimsical sense of absurdity.

To create his dream-like paintings, Klee used symbols, signs, lines, colors, and shapes that often came directly from his unconscious. As a musician, he also perceived many analogies between music and visual art. Klee's drawings, paintings, and teachings on color theory made a great impact on later generations of artists.
