AN EXAMPLE OF ABSTRACT ART
"Intention", by Paul Klee, does not draw upon recognizable subject matter. It is a
picture of a thought process. Klee has given us an idea of what an intention might be
composed of. Slightly to the left of the centre is a simplified outline of a body and in
the head at the top is a single eye. A large number of forms surround it, signifying
the thoughts which might go to make up an intention. Many are easily distinguished
- a tree, an animal, several figures. Others are vague, and the simple forms might
be interpreted in many ways. Some of these are shown by themselves, but some are
joined to other forms. The background is a clear brick, red on one side, and dull
green on the other side. Perhaps the painter is saying that some thoughts are sharp
and clearly remembered, while others are dim and vague.
