Miraculous Landing [or the “112!”]
Watercolor on paper • Expressionism • 31,1 × 38,1 cm • 1920 • Modern and Contemporary Art [The Berggruen Klee Collection, 1984]
In 1918, Klee evoked the following image in his diary: “The storm on the wheat field was captivating; I’ll paint a ship sailing on waves of rye.” Klee never painted that picture, but this one seems just as miraculous. A boat of the type of Noah’s Ark—the “112”—is moored to a boathouse. The face of the girl in the left window is expressionless; her eyes are closed. Perhaps this “miraculous landing” exists only in her imagination. [source: The Met]

I LOVE Paul Klee, Marina! A beautiful tribute. I have his quote close by: “Art does not reproduce what we see; rather it makes us see.” Many thanks for opening my eyes to art and beauty. It is an honour to know that we are entering 2022 together!
My honor too, my dear Rebecca!
As for Klee, my admiration is boundless, I love that quote too! 😉
Sending many hugs your way!
