"Qu 1" colour chart by Paul Klee Poster

"Qu 1" (1930) is a painting by Paul Klee, that is part of a series of colour charts he created in the late 1920s and early 1930s. It is a small, square-shaped painting that is divided into a grid of smaller squares, each one painted with a different colour. The colours used in the painting are vibrant and bold, and the grid layout gives the painting a geometric and precise feel. The purpose of these colour charts is to experiment with different colour combinations and explore the emotional and expressive potential of colour. Klee believed that colour was a powerful tool in art and that it could be used to create moods, express emotions, and convey ideas. These colour charts were not meant to be finished works of art in themselves, but rather as a tool for the artist to study colour and explore its potential.
