Spreng=Holz
This conversation is connected to Spreng=Holz.
Spreng=Holz translates as "blasting wood" or "splitting wood." Made in 1938, two years before Klee's death. Bold black and brown shapes — some angular, some curved — scatter across pale gray paper, with two small purple marks punctuating the upper left. The drawing has the weight and simplicity of a woodcut, though it's made in colored pencil or crayon on paper. Klee's signature is at the upper left.
