Journal (Paul Klee: Red-Green and Purple-Yellow Rhythms) - Flame Tree Publishing

Part of the exciting and luxurious Flame Tree notebook series. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-embossed again. They are incredibly practical: rear pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use and an eye-catching gift. This example features red-green and purple-yellow rhythms by Paul Klee.

Paul Klee was the son of a music teacher and a professional singer. As a result, music and art remained in his mind throughout his life, exemplified by his use of vivid colours as striking as the sounds of individual instruments. He once wrote: “One day I must be able to play freely on the keyboard of my colours,” a sentiment shared by his artist friends and colleagues Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) and Franz Marc (1880–1916).

Remarkable titles and a wide range of authors reflect Flame Tree Publishing’s profile.
