About the Artist
Paul Klee was a Swiss German painter whose innovative approach bridged movements such as Expressionism, Cubism, and the Bauhaus. Renowned for his intellectual curiosity and poetic sensibility, Klee explored the intersection of visual art, music, and written language, influencing generations of modern artists.
His works often reflect a search for new visual vocabularies, using symbols and abstraction to evoke emotion and thought. Discover more of his legacy in our Paul Klee collection and explore related pieces in classic art prints.
The Artwork
Created in 1920, Poisonous Berries emerged during a period of artistic experimentation following the First World War. In this work, Klee draws inspiration from the dualities found in nature—beauty and danger, allure and warning—echoing the uncertainties of the era.
Rather than presenting a straightforward botanical study, Klee transforms the motif of berries into a metaphorical landscape. The artwork invites viewers to contemplate the psychological undertones of attraction and caution, reflecting the broader cultural mood of the early twentieth century.
Style & Characteristics
This composition features buoyant, berry-like circles and compartmentalized shapes, unified by delicate black linework that feels both playful and precise. The repetition of forms creates a rhythmic, almost musical quality across the surface.
Warm reds and oranges are interwoven with cooler blues and pinks, all set against a pale background that lends the piece an airy, luminous quality. The result is a colorful abstract art print that balances childlike simplicity with careful structure, embodying both Bauhaus clarity and poetic improvisation.

In Interior Design
This poster brings a vibrant yet subtle accent to modern interiors, making it ideal for living rooms, creative studios, or home offices. Its blend of geometry and whimsy complements Scandinavian, mid-century, and contemporary spaces, and it integrates seamlessly into eclectic gallery walls.
Pair it with natural wood, matte black frames, or soft neutral tones to highlight the artwork's colors. Accents in terracotta, blush, or cobalt further enhance its visual impact, offering a touch of Bauhaus-era inspiration in a refined art print.
