The painter strives to unearth presence wherever it hides. His gaze is essentially an underwater dive. "We are absolutely reduced to living in the clouds," he would say. To colliding with invisible icebergs.
The space that opens up before the painter extends his inner swarming. There is no doubt that this dimension was what instantly grabbed me in Klee's work: the writing of the foundations can be read there with the naked eye.
It is to Bern, where Paul Klee (1879-1940) was born and buried, that Stéphane Lambert takes us, questioning the link between landscape and creativity, between anchoring and vision, between reality and mythology. He explores the material and effects of the work by weaving a subtle link between the path of man and the journey of the artist. One hundred meters separate Paul Klee's grave from the foundation that bears his name (a superb creation by Renzo Piano based on a Klee motif): this proximity between the concrete reality of the abyss and the vitality of creation is at the heart of the emotion.
Each chapter is titled with a quote from Klee. The painter's spirit accompanies the reader on this journey through his work and reveals the breath of the invisible that runs through it.
