Paul Klee: le signe, la limite ou le tableau organique
Paul Klee: the Sign, the Limit or the Organic Painting

Summary/Abstract: Our paper not only analyzes the affinity between the process of organic/ natural creation and the artistic creation in the work of Paul Klee (both painted and theoretical), but also offers some phenomenological insights concerning the creator’s attempt to make himself “approachable” to Art by means of: uninterrupted genesis, symbolic configuration (not imitation), disillusionment, the correspondence between the micro- and the macrocosmos, continual movement, the tension of rhythms, the grey point as the proper movement of chaos. Since art represents for Klee a parable of Creation and, moreover, it does not reproduce the visible but makes visible, his organic paintings show how things come into being, how being becomes phenomen, also how sign unveils language, not meaning. In addition, as the symbol rises to its visibility, the representation reveals the force of the souvenir; properly speaking, the abstractism in the works of Klee belongs to the real.
