In the style of Paul Klee

A women's silk kimono with abstracted figural designs from the late Taishō, early Showa period.

• While artist Paul Klee (1879–1940) found his greatest influences on trips to North Africa and southern Europe, and in fellow painter Cezanne, his resulting skills as a supreme colorist, use of architectural details and his own symbolism made him a far-reaching influence on 20th-century modernism.
• This unusual kimono captures the humor and fantasy of some of Paul Klee’s work, if not the movement and grace of Cooling in a Garden of the Torrid Zone from 1924, pictured here.
