A Masterpiece Born from Adversity 🎨

Paul Klee created this captivating work during one of the most turbulent periods of his life. By 1938, the Swiss-German artist had been forced to flee Nazi Germany after his work was branded "degenerate art" and removed from public collections. Suffering from scleroderma, a debilitating connective-tissue disease, Klee channelled his physical pain and political exile into a remarkable late-period style characterised by simplified, hieroglyphic forms and intensely symbolic imagery.

Magdalena Before The Conversion exemplifies this extraordinary creative resilience. The painting depicts Mary Magdalene in her pre-conversion state, with conspicuous yellow hair cascading dramatically, bold jewellery, and a "garish" costume rendered in luminous blocks of pink, blue, and yellow. Rather than the repentant saint, Klee captures the earthly, sensual woman before her spiritual transformation, creating a powerful meditation on identity, vulnerability, and redemption.
