In other words without any of the flattering style or heroic poses which was so common in portraiture at that time. Now Paul Klee is a much more recent painter. He died in 1940. His work will probably only be familiar to those of you who are interested in 20th Century Modernism. Yesterday I went to an exhibition of his work at the Tate Modern in London. Among the exhibits on the walls was a gem entitled 'Brustbild der Gaia' or in English 'A Portrait of Gaia'. Here it is then, warts and all. http://www.posterlounge.co.uk/bust-of-gaia-pr162504.html [/quote]
