Shout Out to Paul Klee and Intuition

Paul Klee, At The Core, 1936

Intuition can mean, "a keen and quick insight."  Lately I have been working with the idea of using intuition and spontaneity with my artwork.  I am certainly not the first to think this way.  Paul Klee's method was to use his keen and quick insight as he did his artwork.  According to H. H. Arnason, "Paul Klee would begin to draw like a child...He let the pencil or brush lead him until the image began to emerge.  As it did his conscious experience and skill came back into play in order to carry the first intuitive image to a satisfactory conclusion...Because he placed such value on inner vision and the intuitive process of drawing, Klee's methods and theories had affinities with the automatist techniques of the Surrealists, who claimed him as a pioneer and included his work in their first exhibition in 1925."
