The Viaduct Revolution - Paul Klee
Paul Klee revealed one of his more socially and politically relevant sides in his painting "Viaduct Revolution". Created at a time when fascism was on the rise in Europe, the image of these rebellious arches escaping from the conformity of a conventional viaduct evokes public discord while promoting individuality. It is a casual but threatening reference to the monolithic German architecture of the time, as well as to the official Soviet imagery of workers marching in unison.
