In preparing for the Klee/Aguéli exhibition, 2016, the works of art on paper of Paul Klee were examined by the museum’s conservators. In 2014 two works by Klee were donated by Peggy Bonnier which joined the earlier donation of seven works from Carl Gemzell’s collection. The works have been conserved, and received new mounts and frames that respect Klee’s original presentation.

He was born on April 6, 1917 in the town of Chorley, in Lancashire, England. In 1936 he entered the Ozenfant Academy of Art, in the city of London. The following year she met someone who indirectly introduced her to the surrealist movement: the German painter Max Ernst, whom he met again on a trip to Paris and with whom he soon established a sentimental relationship. During his stay in that city he came into contact with the Surrealist movement and lived with notable figures of the movement such as Joan Miró and André Breton, as well as with other painters who gathered around the table of Café Les Deux Magots, such as the painter Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. In 1938 he wrote a short story called The House of Fear and participated with Max Ernst in the International Exhibition of Surrealism in Paris and Amsterdam. Prior to the Nazi occupation of France, several painters of the Surrealist movement, including Leonora Carrington, became active collaborators of the Freier Künstlerbund, an underground movement of anti-fascist intellectuals. Leonora Carrington was only 20 years old when she met Max Ernst in London. Then the painter was already 47 years old and quite famous as a surrealist. The great age difference, the fact that Ernst was also married, as well as his radical surrealist positions meant that this relationship did not count on the consent of Leonora's father. In spite of this, the couple was reunited in Paris and soon they went to live in the province, in the town of Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche, in a country house that they acquired in 1938. Until today it is conserved in the facade of this house is a relief that represents the couple and their role play: «Loplop», the alter ego of Max Ernst, a fabulous winged animal between bird and starfish and his «Bride of the Wind»: Leonora Carrington. The calm and happy life of the couple in this place lasted only one year. In September 1939 Max Ernst was declared an enemy of the Vichy regime. After the arrest and imprisonment of Ernst in the field of Les Milles, Leonora suffered a psychic destabilization. Before the inexorable Nazi invasion, she was forced to flee to Spain. Under the management of her father, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Santander, and from this period the painter kept an indelible mark, which decisively affected her later work. Leonora described, in his autobiographical work (En bas) the details of this dramatic story. From this moment, André Breton became interested in hysteria, madness and other mental alterations and saw Leonora as a returning ambassador from the "other side", a seer, the witch who returned from the underworld armed with visionary powers. In 1941 he escaped from the hospital and arrived in the city of Lisbon, where he found refuge in the Mexican embassy. There he met the writer Renato Leduc, who helped her emigrate. That same year he married and Leonora traveled to New York. In 1942 he emigrated to Mexico and in 1943 he divorced Renato Leduc. In Mexico, the painter reestablished links with several of her Surrealist colleagues and friends in exile, who also met in that country, such as André Breton, Benjamin Péret, Alice Rahon, Wolfgang Paalen and the painter Remedios Varo, with whom she maintained a lasting friendship In the eighties, Leonora began to fuse bronze sculptures, her subjects refer to the multiple realities that confronts the reality of old age, and on the other hand Carrington had a genuine interest in alchemy and the fairy tales with which she grew up. that is perceived in his pictorial and sculptural work. She was the winner of the National Prize for Science and Arts in the Fine Arts area, awarded by the government of Mexico in 2005. He died at age 94 in Mexico City on May 25, 2011.

We've seen some deranged vintage body armor before, but nothing as gutsy as this costume, which transformed the wearer into a 19th-century Pinhead. A commenter on the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation message boards had this to say about such a suit in 1998 (we're assuming this description refers…
