"A new centre is opening this month in Bern to celebrate Paul Klee (1879-1940), one of the greats in the pantheon of modern art.
Klee described himself as "intangible" - a perhaps fitting epithet for a man who was seen at times as both bourgeois and bohemian, and who went down in history as a Swiss artist, even though he was German.
Klee was born and died in Switzerland, but his formative years were spent in Germany, where he became famous as an artist of the avantgarde."
