Résumé

In comparing the works of Etel Adnan and Paul Klee, their shared interest in the relationship between writing and images became clear. Etel Adnan’s great admiration for Klee’s art was an additional reason for holding an exhibition at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern. The following note examines the extent to which the artists’ engagement with (Arabic) calligraphy was an integral part of their practices.
