An economic and political history of the artist's rise from obscurity to prominence in the Weimar Republic. Drawing on financial records and unpublished letters as well as published reviews and criticism, Werkmeister (art history, Northwestern) argues that Klee was very aware of and responsive to the changes and opportunities in politics and the art market, and that he, along with several critics and dealers, contrived his image as a mystic sage. Contains many glossy, black-and-white reproductions. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
