"Castle and Sun" is an iconic work by Paul Klee, created in 1928 and considered one of his most iconic masterpieces. This oil on canvas painting is currently housed at the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland. The painting depicts a fantastical landscape dominated by a stylized castle composed of simple geometric shapes—primarily rectangles, squares, and triangles—that harmoniously overlap. In the upper right, a large, bright yellow sun illuminates the scene, creating a visual contrast with the red background.
The work was created during Klee's time teaching at the Bauhaus, a school of art and design renowned for its innovative approach to architecture and art. This painting perfectly captures the fusion of abstract and figurative elements that characterizes Klee's unique style.
