• Resumen

  • Cuerpo simbólico en Paul Klee proposes a journey into Klee's symbolism. This thesis firstly tackles some theoretical issues related to visual symbolism and the divorce between the sciences and the humanities. It then moves to a transitional part that bridges the previous theoretical two chapters with the final applied two stanzas. This in-between chapter compares Klee's way of seeing to Goethe's scientific approach. It finally looks into botanical and cosmic symbolism that dwells in some paintings that Klee created during his stay, as a Formmeister, in the Bauhaus academic institution from 1920 to 1931.

    These several stanzas encounter in the conclusion through one of Klee's last paintings, Untitled, which epitomises the botanical and cosmic symbols that have been studied. This symbolic ensemble constitutes Klee's pictorial language but also articulates how Klee dialogue with nature. As visual expressions, Klee's symbols therefore transmit a knowledge, which is acquired through a dialogue. And this knowledge, conveyed by means of visual symbolic manifestations, does not recognize any gap between the sciences and the humanities
