KLEE <(>y<)> KANDINSKY NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS, RIVALS

This unique book explores their 30year relationship, from the time of the Blue Rider group around 1912, to the Bauhaus years in Weim ar and Dessau until the late 1930s. With the culture of the Weimar Republic as a backdrop, this book traces the eventful history of an artistic friendship. Kandinskys idealism is juxtaposed with Klees irony, and we learn that their relationship was characterized in equal measure by friendship and competitiveness, mutual influence and the need to establish distance.
