I am an intense admirer of Paul Klee, whose works I have seen often in art books, and also, I saw some of his works in person, at the Guggenheim in NYC. I was looking him up today, and I found a very moving quote of his, from his tombstone:
I belong not only to this life. I live as well with the dead, as with those not born. Nearer to the heart of creation than others, but still too far.
That is a beautiful sentiment. I feel this way, too.

Excellent quote. I don't know very much about Paul Klee. I am going to do some research. Thanks, CM!
Check out Max Ernst, too. And Marc Chagall. Another great favorite of mine is Alexander Calder. You Tube has some great footage of Calder demonstrating his portable suit case circus, made entirely of little wire horses, acrobats, clowns, and strongmen.
