Paul Klee | Expressionist painter

Paul Klee (1879-1940) was born in Münchenbuchsee, Switzerland, and is considered both a German and a Swiss painter.

His highly individual style was influenced by movements in art that included Expressionism, cubism and surrealism.

He was, as well, a student of orientalism.

Klee was a natural draftsman who experimented with and eventually mastered colour theory, and wrote extensively about it; his lectures Writings on Form and Design Theory Schriften zur Form und Gestaltungslehre, published in English as the Paul Klee Notebooks, are considered so important for modern art that they are compared to the importance that Leonardo da Vinci's A Treatise on Painting had for Renaissance.

Leopold Schmutzler | Genre painter

Leopold Schmutzler (1864-1941) was born at Mies in Bohemia but settled in Munich. His works of the late nineteenth-century, like the Russell-Cotes painting, treat contemporary and 'frock-coat' Genre subjects with titles such as The Suitor, The Centre of Attention or Woman Eavesdropping on a Conversation.

They tend to be painted in a realistic style recalling the 'gallant' subjects of eighteenth-century painting that were so fashionable at the time.

The Minuet, like many of the artist’s works of this period, is proficiently executed with a detailed but free handling of the paint and it is characterised by a cloying, saccharine quality.
