Painted at Weimar in 1921, this canvas was produced along with many others inspired by the stage. Klee was a fervent theater-goer, never happier than when he could immerse himself in the make-believe of the stage and enjoy the delightful confusion of the real and the unreal. One of his favorite hobbies in his own home was a small marionnette show, which inspired many of the symbolic figures he painted--figures now dream-laden, now ironic, limned with all the grace of musical notation. less
