In memoriam Aljoscha Ségard
The Zentrum Paul Klee is dedicating a memorial exhibition to the recently passed away Alexander Klee. In addition to his extraordinary commitment to communicating the work of Paul Klee, he had developed a varied body of work under the pseudonym Aljoscha Ségard. He had at least three artistic qualities in common with his grandfather, although in an aesthetic form of his own: a liking for the cryptic, a witty and poetic aspect, and a delight in the interplay of image and word.
The exhibition focuses on last works, whose essence lies in a haiku-like narrative. Apart from his calligraphic-looking large-format charcoal drawings, these are poetic assemblages of objects in which the artist brought together small objects that had struck him and came his way in the course of his everyday life.
