No one ever saw Paul Klee pigeon shooting.
His abstract expressions gave nothing away,
Although he’d claim with pride:
‘I have nothing to hide.’
If he did, he certainly never hid in his attic—because his roof was full of holes.
Like a Swiss cheese.
In his day, some people found Klee rather unsavoury.
But now, he’s generally well-regarded and his famous works please.
Switzerland has produced many notable things and people.
From cuckoo-clocks to Roger Federer and even Swiss Cottage underground station in London.
The Swiss Guard protect the Pope and who can overlook the universal utility of the Swiss army knife?
(It’s no wonder Switzerland remained neutral throughout the War—with only that compact tool to protect a soldier’s life!)
No one ever saw Paul Klee modelling.
But he described his pictures as: ‘Taking a line for a walk.’
So the next time his name is mentioned, don’t be shy—join in the talk.
