...cheerfully scratchy, crazy-quilt compositions of bicycle handlebars, Coke bottles and girls in garter belts owe a good deal to Klee and Dubuffet...
Swans & Minarets. Artists and critics went overboard, comparing Queen's primitive tapestries to Klee, Picasso and the works of the Sienese quattrocento masters. Couture houses deluged her with scraps of silks and satins. Last month another 38 of her newer, brighter works went on display. Buyers snapped up all but ten that Kalman deliberately held back, and last week gallerygoers were still flocking to see the remaining few. Movie Actress Joanne Woodward became a Queen collector...
...Travail du Peintre (1957) is a cycle of seven songs on poems by Paul Eluard, each of which portrays a painter of this century: Picasso, Chagall, Braque, Gris, Klee, Miro, Villon.

...dwarfs and twisted drunkards, perverted bourgeois and browbeaten soldiers can clearly be traced back to Durer and then down through George Grosz. In his wispy cloudlike sketches and pastels lurks the orchidaceous venom of Odilon Redon. In his zinc-plated etchings there are shades of Max Beckmann. One, entitled Klee and Ensor Fighting over a Smoked Herring, acknowledges the artist's debt to both...
