"Was Läuft Er?" (What Makes Him Run?) is a notable painting by the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, created in 1940. Klee, a pivotal figure in the development of modern art, is renowned for his highly individual style that integrates elements of expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. His works often feature a unique blend of whimsical, childlike simplicity and profound, complex symbolism, reflecting his deep engagement with color theory and his innovative approach to form and composition.

"Was Läuft Er?" stands as a testament to Klee's enduring creativity and artistic evolution, even in the face of personal and political turmoil. The painting was completed during the final year of Klee's life, a period marked by his struggle with scleroderma, a debilitating disease that significantly impacted his ability to work. Despite these challenges, Klee's late works are characterized by a remarkable intensity and a poignant exploration of existential themes.

The painting itself is a striking example of Klee's mature style, featuring abstract forms and a vibrant, yet carefully modulated color palette. The title, "Was Läuft Er?" invites viewers to ponder the motivations and inner life of the figure depicted, a common theme in Klee's oeuvre where the interplay between the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown, is a central concern. The composition's dynamic lines and shapes suggest movement and energy, while the figure's ambiguous form encourages multiple interpretations, reflecting Klee's interest in the fluidity of meaning and the subjective nature of perception.

"Was Läuft Er?" is housed in the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland, which holds the largest collection of Klee's works and serves as a major center for research and appreciation of his artistic legacy. This painting, like many of Klee's works, continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic charm and profound depth, embodying the artist's belief in the transformative power of art to reveal the hidden dimensions of human experience.
