Description It features a blank face on which a vertical line snakes from top to bottom, "taking a line for a walk", as Klee was wont to say.

Analysis Produced shortly after Klee was branded a degenerate artist by the ruling Nazi Party in 1933, with the subsequent loss of his position in Germany and an enforced move to Switzerland, the picture appears to represent his disillusion ...

Magic Mirror (Snow White)
"Snow White" is a German fairy tale, first written down in the early 19th century. The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection ''Grimms' Fairy Tales'', numbered as Tale 53. The original title was ''Sneewittchen'', which is a partial translation from Low German. The modern spelling is ''Schneewittchen''. The Grimms completed their final revision of the story in 1854, which can be found in the 1857 version of ''Grimms' Fairy Tales''. The fairy tale features elements such as the magic mirror, the poisoned apple, the glass coffin, and the characters of the Evil Queen and the seven Dwarfs. The seven dwarfs were first given individual names in the 1912 Broadway play ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' and then given different names in Walt Disney's 1937 film ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs''. The Grimm story, which is commonly referred to as "Snow White", should not be confused with the story of " Snow-White and Rose-Red" (in German ""), anothe ...

Chinese Magic Mirror
The Chinese magic mirror () traces back to at least the 5th century, although their existence during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 24 AD) has been claimed. The mirrors were made out of solid bronze. The front was polished and could be used as a mirror, while the back has a design cast in the bronze, or other decoration. When sunlight or other bright light shines onto the mirror, the mirror appears to become transparency and translucency, transparent. If that light is reflected from the mirror onto a wall, the pattern on the back of the mirror is then projected onto the wall. Bronze mirrors were the standard in many Eurasian cultures, but most lacked this characteristic, as did most Chinese bronze mirrors. Construction Robert Temple describes their construction: The basic mirror shape, with the design on the back, was cast flat, and the convexity of the surface produced afterwards by elaborate scraping and scratching. The surface was then polished to become shiny. The stress ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
