...first to recognize his value were the Dadaists. "In Klee's beautiful work," declared one of them, Marcel Janco, "we saw the reflection of all our efforts to interpret the soul of primitive man, to plunge into the unconscious and the instinctive power of creation." Even Marcel Duchamp, the least voluble of artists, admired the "extreme fecundity" of Klee--images begetting other images like horny little microbes in a Petri dish.
