And this romance has a deeper, more beautiful, meaningful and beneficial, it is - a piece of ice, in which a flaming fire. And if people feel only the cold and do not feel the fire - so much the worse for them ... »« Cold romance »the artist of his own paintings with the work of his friend Paul Klee (Paul Klee), who also taught at the Bauhaus with Kandinsky and lived in one house .
