The German artist Paul Klee was born in 1879 into a family of musicians in the small Swiss town of Münchenbuchsee. Although he was a prodigiously talented young violinist, music didn’t appeal to him. When he was a teenager, Klee rebelled and began painting landscapes. “I didn’t find the idea of going in for music creatively particularly attractive,” he explained, “in view of the decline in the history of musical achievement.” Klee eventually became known for his experiments with Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism, and for his writings on color theory. This exhibition, the first on Klee at Hyogo Prefectural in over a decade, surveys his entire career. —Elena Clavarino
