Ghost Chamber with the Tall Door (New Version), 1925, Sprayed and brushed watercolor, and transferred printing ink on paper bordered with gouache and ink, mounted on cardboard, 24 in. × 16 5/8 in. (61 × 42.2 cm), Drawings, Paul Klee (German (born Switzerland), Münchenbuchsee 1879–1940 Muralto-Locarno), In the early 1920s, Klee painted a series of ghost chambers with eerie lines of perspective that reduce everything to skeletal transparency. As Klee rarely used perspective, he applied it in these works-always interiors-solely to show its delusive effects, a theory he relayed to his students in his Bauhaus lectures on the subject in November 1921
