A crucial breakthrough in Klee's use of color came during a 1914 trip to Tunisia, where he famously declared, "Color and I are one". From 1921 to 1931, he taught at the influential Bauhaus school, becoming a significant art theorist. Persecuted by the Nazis, who confiscated his work, he returned to Switzerland, where he battled a debilitating illness until his death in 1940.
