"Art does not reproduce the invisible. lt makes visible" (Klee)
lndicating the exact centre of the composition with a mysterious black arrow, a recurrent symbol in his paintings, Paul Klee provides an illusory landmark in a teeming landscape. This marvellous garden engraved in the fresh paint of the pictorial layer rises in stages between the hedge of flowers in the foreground and the sun dominating everything. The refinement of the material characterised by an orangish-brown monochrome adds to the poetic effect emanating tram this painting.
