Paul Klee, "Monument on the Border of the Fertile Country", c. 1929. Paul Klee spent four weeks traveling across Egypt, from Alexandria to Cairo and from Luxor to Aswan, from 17 December 1928 to 17 January 1929. Klee created several works that recall the Egyptian desert landscape, including this linear abstraction of the Sphinx's profile in between fields fertilized by the Nile's flooding.
