Looking for fine art oil painting with real brushwork? In the Magic Mirror is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after Paul Klee. The result is a piece of abstract oil painting wall decor that anchors a living room and rewards a closer look.
1934
Oil on canvas
In the Magic Mirror reflects the disillusionment that colored much of Paul Klee's work following the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933 and the artist's subsequent move to his native Switzerland.
Illustrating what Klee called his method of "taking a line for a walk," a meandering red line twists and turns down the center of the canvas, delineating the features of a face. The tight curves on the brow suggest the figure is concentrating, while the tension between the nose and mouth, which pull in opposite directions, conveys anxiety. In contrast to the cheerful pink cheeks, the figure's tear-shaped eyes communicate distress. The thinly painted, ghostly outline of the head and shoulders is in contrast to the crisp rendering of the face. Klee paints the heart, the true creative center, black, thereby suggesting the pall that settled over this figure, and by extension, the artist at this time.
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of abstract oil painting wall decor.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the fine art brushwork visible and gives the abstract oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As living room wall decor, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large living room feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for fine art oil painting as a gift.
Whether the search term is fine art oil painting, living room wall decor, or abstract oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
