保羅·克利，瑞士德國藝術家 (1879-1940) ~~ 堅強的夢想，(1929)

這幅保羅·克利中期作品充分展現了藝術家對色彩的運用。 《堅強的夢想》是一件引人注目的作品，以典型的克利式水粉畫風格完成。

它描繪了一個抽象的人物，睡在一輪巨大的、色彩鮮豔的月亮下，新月上有一個紅色的圓圈。天體特徵以最深的黑色為背景，邊框採用較淺的色調，乍看之下似乎是匆匆勾勒出來的。

但克利的創作從不草率。他的作品風格很難界定，涵蓋了從立體主義到表現主義和超現實主義的各種風格。克利是一位出色的繪圖員，他喜歡在紙上用墨水精確作畫，也喜歡在畫布上塗抹抽象畫，他最重要的原則是探索激進的想法。這幅畫中的一切都是有原因的。

這幅畫創作於 1929 年，當時克利正在包浩斯任教，他和康丁斯基是同時代的人，也是好朋友，而《強烈的夢想》中確實有康丁斯基對色彩的強烈運用的痕跡。

月亮和其伴隨的球體分別是深紅色和黃色，特別是位於漆黑的夜晚。但更仔細地觀察，黑色顯露出來，它們真的在那裡嗎？或者這只是一個夢？

這一部分的透明主題在用彩色線條勾勒出的睡眠人物形像中得到了更充分的探索。他是虛幻的，沒有完全存在。

Paul Klee, Swiss German artist (1879-1940) ~~ Strong Dream, (1929)

This mid-period Paul Klee painting displays the artist at his strongest in terms of use of colour. Strong Dream is an arresting piece, executed with a typical Klee-like flourish in gouache.

It depicts an abstracted figure, sleeping beneath a huge, vibrantly coloured moon, in the crescent of which rests a red circle. The celestial features are set in the darkest black, framed in a lighter tone which seems at first glance to have been hastily sketched around.

But nothing in Klee is done hastily. A hard man to pin down stylistically, his ouevre takes in everything from Cubism to Expressionism and Surrealism. An excellent draughtsman, Klee was as happy working with precision in ink on paper as he was daubing abstract canvases, his overriding principle was to explore radical ideas. Everything in this painting is there for a reason.

The picture dates from 1929, a period when Klee was teaching at the Bauhaus, where he was a contemporary and friend of Kandinsky, and there is certainly something of Kandinsky's intense use of colour in "Strong Dream."

The moon, and its accompanying sphere are a strong red and yellow respectively, the more so for being set in a night of the darkest black. But more closely, the black is allowed to show through, are they really there? Or is this a dream?

This theme of partial transparency is explored more fully in the sleeping figure, sketched as he is in coloured lines. He is insubstantial, not fully there.
