Paul Klee (1879-1940) took his opportunity of traveling Tunisia, Africa in 1914 to be attracted to power of color and created works of color square until the end of his life. In such works, color was just interpreted as musical influence which is inherent in him and there is a shortage of interpretation about color. Is it possible to interpret such works only through musical factors? Aren't there any other collateral factors in interpreting color of color squares? For analysis of these questions, I will look for foundations in Goethe's thought and theory of color which affected Paul Klee. His diary suggested that he read lots of books about Goethe. And his lecture about color shown in his educational sketchbook used during the years as professor at Bauhaus and comparison of 'color theory' which was used in 1922 during years of mural studio with color theory of Goethe indicate the influence from Goethe of color squares. For this purpose, this study tried to lay the theoretical foundation for understanding and interpreting his works in accordance with his intention and philosophy by recognizing that existing color studies of color square about Paul Klee were centered mainly on musical factors and by emphasizing the meaning of color. For this study, first of all, regarding 'color square' works, his artistic world were examined and color theory of Goethe, which became his theoretical background of work activities and color. And relation between the two was examined, and Klee's works were interpreted through Goethe's color theory. This article is composed of the followings. In chapter 2, background of Paul Klee's color square type works ' creation and color square works will be examined. In chapter 3, Goethe's color theory, which significantly affected creation of Klee's color square works' series will be examined. Composition principles of Goethe theory such as polarity, rise, and comprehensiveness will be examined in terms of definition and characteristics and concepts of chemical color, physical color and physiological color will be examined. In chapter 4, based on Goethe's color theory, Paul Klee's color square type works will be analyzed. According to characteristics of works, the works will be divided largely into early stage(1913~1920), Bauhaus years(1921~1929), and latter years(1930~) and they will be examined with regard to composition principle of Goethe's color theory and relation with three colors. The conclusion part will analyze color principle of Paul Klee's color square type works and examine psychological and emotional effects of use of such colors based on understanding of phenomena of various colors mentioned in Goethe's color theory.
