Angels


Paul Klee:
Bell Angel • Forgetful angel


Steve Morrison:
Angel

Klee designed in 1939 his series of charming, clumsy and dutiful angels. Seventy years later the brothers (sisters?) or at least cousins of these angels seem to reappear in the blog of Poltavka. She cannot tell either from where she took them. From the original link they have simply disappeared. Angels are like this.

(Update: Now they are all together at the author’s site.)

The average angel contains 80% of music,
and its music metabolism proceeds continuously.

new ones to grow

For more Klee-inspired angels see the book of Riccardo Mazzoni and Carlo Trevisan.
