Free impression of Castle and Sun
this is an abstract cityscape painting from Paul Klee.
The colors of this artwork are truly stunning, with triangles and rectangles providing an abstract form of a city scene. This brightness has helped this artwork to become amongst the most reproduced of all Klee artworks, alongside the likes of Angelus Novus and Twittering Machine. Burg und Sonne was the original title of this piece, which translates directly as Castle and Sun, capturing the main focal points of this painting. Some have occasionally mis-interpreted the sun as in fact a moon, but the title of the painting clarifies that. Klee himself produced several of these intricate tiled scenes and they have proven to be amongst the most loved by his fans.
