Paul Klee (Munchenbuchsee; 1879 ndash; Muralto; 1940)La reacute;putation de Klee eacute;tait celle drsquo;un artiste introverti et recirc;veur. Crsquo;est une image qursquo;il cultivait en partie lui-mecirc;me. En 1911; Klee fut preacute;senteacute; agrave; August Macke. Peu apregrave;s; il rencontra Marc et Kandinsky. Ils lrsquo;accueillirent dans le groupe exposant sous le nom de Blaue Reiter et il contribua agrave; leur almanach. En avril 1912; Klee se rendit agrave; Paris et fut profondeacute;ment impressionneacute; par laquo;lrsquo;Orphisme raquo; abstrait de Robert Delaunay. Lrsquo;art de Klee se distingue par sa diversiteacute; extraordinaire et son innovation technique. Lrsquo;une de ses techniques les plus efficaces eacute;tait en reacute;aliteacute; tregrave;s simple ndash; le transfert agrave; lrsquo;huile (le dessin avec une pointe affucirc;teacute;e au verso drsquo;une feuille couverte de peinture agrave; lrsquo;huile et coucheacute;e sur une autre feuille). Les effets collateacute;raux du proceacute;deacute; entraicirc;naient lrsquo;apparition de taches de couleur dues au hasard. De cette faccedil;on; Klee parvint dans plusieurs oeuvres agrave; eacute;hiculer une impression laquo;spectrale raquo;. De nos jours; lrsquo;un des plus ceacute;legrave;bres tableaux de Klee est Der Goldfisch (Le Poisson rouge) de 1925. Un poisson lumineux brille vivement; en suspension dans un enfer aquatique. Klee fut xtrecirc;mement productif pendant les anneacute;es du Bauhaus; mais en fin de compte; la prise du pouvoir par les Nationaux-Socialistes le poussa agrave; quitter lrsquo;Allemagne avec sa femme pour sa Suisse natale. Les derniegrave;res oeuvres de Klee; dans lesquelles dominent les formes simplifieacute;es et archaiuml;ques; montrent sa preacute;occupation pour la mortaliteacute;. Klee mourut en 1940; au terme drsquo;une longue maladie.

What I have always looked for is not the technical aspects of camera equipment and settings; but experienced and tried methods of being able to take pictures in my primary passion of being outdoors. To me; photography is a tertiary reason for being outdoors and it is a hobby; not the passion. The author is spot on regarding accessibiltiy and types of equipment to take in order to make photography a part of the outdoor experience. The later chapters are very concise rule of thumb reviews for taking pictures. I will be able to donate all my other outdoor photography books and create shelf space by just retaining this one. I highly recommend this book for the kit DSLR crowd that understands the basics of digital camera technology and are not part of the tripod crowd waiting for the perfect outdoor lighting (although I do enjoy those pictures - but have no patience and desire to create them).1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Was hoping for moreBy Spencer Q PennyworthIts a good book for an amateur; someone that hasnt gone on any shoots of their own. I was looking for more depth and insight of how specific shots were planned and produced. Its a very entry level look at outdoor hiking and climbing photography. If youre just picking up a camera and already involved in outdoor adventure sports and thinking youd like to shoot your trips with more control; this should be good for you; but if youve already got any good photo experience; Id pass.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An Excellent Book On How to Get The Good Shots When You Are Far From Base CampBy A ReaderIf you shoot landscape photos; get this book. If you shoot in the forest away from established paths; get this book. If you shoot in the Winter; get this book. The only photographers who DO NOT need this book are the studio guys.
