"Head of Man," also known as "Senecio," is a notable work by Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, created in 1922 during his tenure at the Bauhaus school in Weimar, Germany. This painting is one of Klee's most recognized pieces and exemplifies his innovative use of color theory and his exploration of abstraction and expressionism. The title "Senecio" is derived from the Latin word for "old man," and the work is often interpreted as a playful yet penetrating representation of an elderly person's face.

The painting features a seemingly simplistic, child-like depiction of a human head, with geometric shapes and vibrant colors that break down the subject's features into a series of planes and patterns. Klee's mastery in blending colors is evident in the juxtaposition of warm and cool tones, which create a sense of depth and complexity within the flat, two-dimensional space. The use of abstract shapes and the reduction of the human form to its essential elements reflect Klee's interest in primitivism and the art of children, which he believed was more genuine and closer to the raw essence of human perception and creativity.

"Senecio" is executed in oil paint and pastel on gauze and paper with a layer of chalk ground, a technique that contributes to the textural quality of the work. The painting measures 40.3 cm × 37.4 cm (15.9 in × 14.7 in) and is part of the collection at the Kunstmuseum Basel in Switzerland. As a seminal piece of Klee's oeuvre, "Senecio" is often discussed in the context of his theoretical writings, particularly those concerning the interplay between form and color, which he elaborated upon in his lectures at the Bauhaus.

This artwork stands as a testament to Klee's influence on the development of modern art, particularly in the realms of abstraction and surrealism. "Senecio" continues to captivate audiences and scholars alike with its enigmatic quality and its embodiment of Klee's artistic philosophy, which sought to reveal the mysteries of the human soul through the simplicity and purity of artistic expression.
