Etel Adnan

Etel Adnan: Adnan

"I think Klee was the first painter I fell in love with. He obsessed me. By obsessed, I mean that his paintings put me into a state of ecstasy. They possessed me. In Kairouan, he wrote, "color and I are one." And I understood he was speaking of revelation. For me he embodied the whole artistic world by himself. A few days ago, I had the chance to see some of his paintings in Düsseldorf, they have not lost any of their magic. They invite you to communicate with his own sensitivity, It gives you the impression of knowing his soul better than you know your own. To the point of being overwhelmed and being entirely drawn into his uinverse."
