The artwork titled “Part of G” was created by the artist Paul Klee in 1927. Executed using oil, watercolor, and paper, this piece measures 24 x 32.5 cm and is categorized within the Surrealism art movement. It is depicted as a cityscape genre and is currently held in a Private Collection.
The artwork presents an assemblage of geometric shapes, forming an abstract representation of a cityscape under what appears to be the transition from dusk to night. The composition is a labyrinthine intertwining of structures with varying heights and forms, giving the illusion of depth and dimensionality within the flat plane. The palette is dominated by earthy tones, with pops of vivid color bringing dynamism to the scene.
Foregrounded buildings and elements are painted with a greater emphasis on detail, while others fade into the brownish-red background, advancing a sense of perspective. The night sky is rendered in a deep blue, punctuated by a circular yellow form that suggests the presence of a sun or a moon. Throughout the artwork, there is a playful manipulation of scale and perspective, a hallmark of Klee’s style, showcasing his mastery in blending realistic representation with fantastical elements. The combination of the structural geometries, the infusion of rich color, and the surreal composition forms a harmonious and enigmatic narrative typical of Klee’s oeuvre.
