Artist Paul Klee (December 1879 – June 1940) had a cat named Fritzi. Fritzi was an adventurous cat who liked to hunt birds and mice. He liked to visit Klee’s studio and was always allowed to prowl about the paint cans and brushes. Klee must have liked Fritzi a lot because even when he spilled paints and knocked over paintings he was still allowed to watch Klee paint.
Paul Klee liked Fritzi so much he painted a portrait of him. Our second and third grade students learned about Paul Klee and Fritzi and made their own animal portraits of a cat they knew. They enjoyed using our new dry pastel colors. Can you see what our cats are thinking about? How do we know that Paul Klee loved Fritzi?
