The realization that children have their own type of childish creativity and the potential to express themselves through art was a crucial driving force in Paul Klee’s own creative work: from pieces displaying the spontaneous texture of finger painting to his Dada-esque puppets made of found materials. Animated by Klee, after World War II painters from the group of artists known as CoBrA in turn lighted on the child’s visual world as a source of inspiration for their new, revolutionary artistic departure.

Die Entdeckung des bildnerischen Ausdruckspotentials von Kindern und der eigenen kindlichen Kreativität gab Paul Klee entscheidende Impulse für sein künstlerisches Schaffen – von Arbeiten mit der spontanen Haptik von Fingermalereien bis zu seinen dadaesken Handpuppen aus vorgefundenen Materialien. Inspiriert von Klee, entdeckten die Maler der Künstlergruppe CoBrA nach den Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ihrerseits die Bildwelt des Kindes als Inspirationsquelle für ihren revolutionären künstlerischen Aufbruch.
