PAUL KLEE

"This is due to particularly to the local limitations of the eye. The eye can not be in the whole field of the pictorial work at the same time, but rather always only in a part. It stands itself before a relatively small picture board, before the task has been posed, like a grazing animal. It must enter into movement because it can't see everything at once""
