Paul Klee Pedagogical Sketchbook 1953 Faber and Faber Hardback with Dust Jacket

Paul Klee, the spiritual nonobjective artist who was a teacher for the Bauhaus. His art was based on mathematic and basic geometric forms but the movement of his paintings was the revolutionary. His art used basic forms that dealt with his spiritual and his mortal coil. In his paintings he was able to convey what daily life with spiritualism could be always questioned and in flux. 
The original book, was hand written with accompanying drawings show his examples. 
"…based on his extensive lectures on visual form at Bauhaus Staatliche Art School where he was a teacher in between 1921-1931. Originally handwritten – as a pile of working notes he used in his lectures – it was eventually edited by Walter Gropius, designed by László Moholy-Nagy and published in as a Bauhaus student manual (Bauhausbucher No.2, as the second in the series of the fourteen Bauhaus books)"
A simple overview of the book was "Pedagogical Sketchbook is an intuitive art investigation of dynamic principles in visual arts. Klee takes his students on an ‘adventure in seeing guiding them step-by-step through a challenging conceptual framework. Objects are rendered in a complex relation to physical and intellectual space concepts. It is an exercise in modern art thinking."

Translated by the Laszlo Maholy Nagy's wife, Sibyl with updated dust jacket.
Along with Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Pedagogical Sketchbook is one of the lasting lessons from the original Bauhaus.
