Serigraph titled "Senecio" (or Head of a Man Going Senile) designed circa 1922 by Swiss-born German artist Paul Klee (1879-1940). Signed in plate. Matted and displayed beneath glass cover in aluminum frame. Klee's training as a painter began at age 19 when he studied drawing and painting in Munich for three years, later returning returned to Munich where he became involved with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter. In 1920, Walter Gropius invited Klee to join the faculty of the Bauhaus where, during his ten year tenure, he produced nearly half his lifetime of works. Klee taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf from 1931 to December 1933, until returning to his native Bern upon the National Socialists declaring his art “degenerate”.
