Dreaming pictures : Paul Klee

I really wanted to like this, but it just didn't work for me.

However, I find the work "The Gate to the Depths" intriguing. Von Shemm writes as if the dark shape in the middle recedes, like the staircase into a basement. My eyes kept seeing it advance... so, I thought about it, and decided that maybe Klee was doing a sort of an optical illusion, and he sees it both ways... and so, when we see it advance, Klee hopes that we see it as a sort of a reflection, giving the interpretation 'to the depths of our soul.'
