1938, Paul Klee, Young Moe -- Phillips Collection (Washington)
From the museum label: Young Moe refers to Albert Moeschinger, a professor of music theory at the conservatory of Bern, Switzerland, from 1937 to 1943. Moeschinger or "Moe" dedicated three compositions for violin and piano to Klee, who gave him two paintings in return. Klee noted that Young Moe is considered a sketch, where paint has been applied in rapid strokes and the newsprint beneath the surface is left exposed.
