Klee served in World War I, but was deemed exempt from active combat because of his career as an artist. Instead, he painted the camouflage onto German war planes.

Color possesses me. I don't have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it. That is the meaning of this happy hour. Color and I are one. I am a painter.
