Limited Edition Release: Paul Klee — Qu 1

Wood Print Edition with Limitedd

Limitedd Edition presents a refined new limited art release: Qu 1 (1930), a color chart by Paul Klee that exemplifies his lifelong investigation into color, rhythm, and visual structure. Quiet yet conceptually rich, this work stands at the intersection of art, music, and theory—central to Klee’s enduring influence on modern abstraction.

Color as System, Color as Poetry

Created in 1930, Qu 1 belongs to a body of work in which Klee explored color not as decoration but as an autonomous language. Arranged in a measured grid, the hues appear analytical at first glance—yet subtle shifts in tone and balance generate a poetic vibration across the surface.

For Klee, color functioned much like musical notation: structured, relational, and emotionally resonant. Qu 1 reflects this approach perfectly, balancing rational order with quiet intuition. It is both a study and a complete artwork, embodying the Bauhaus-era pursuit of harmony between intellect and feeling.

The original work is held by the Kunstmuseum Basel, home to the world’s most important collection of Klee’s work.

Printed on Wood: A Subtle Transformation

This Limitedd edition translates Klee’s color grid onto FSC-certified birch wood, introducing an organic counterpoint to the work’s geometric structure. The natural wood grain softly interacts with the color fields, adding warmth and depth to the otherwise precise composition.

Unprinted white areas allow the birch surface to remain visible, making the material an active part of the image. The matte finish and clean, edge-to-edge printing ensure a contemporary presentation that respects the artwork’s clarity and restraint.
