Harbor and Sailboats, 80×60 cm, 1937, Centre Pompidou Collection

"Harbor and Sailing Ships," a poetic work, is composed of concise lines under symbolic forms. The clear blue background suggests an endless sea, while the pink and green harbor and sailing ships are shaped by wandering symbols. Klee wrote: "Art is the creation of images, a kind of symbol; all is like the human world, which is precisely the symbol of the universe."
