The Anatomy Of Fish Magic
"Art doesn't reproduce what is visible, it makes visible what is not always apparent."
This phrase by Paul Klee encapsulates part of his poetics and translates aesthetically in the style of graffiti the artist uses in the painting 'Fish Magic' of 1925.
The painting's surface is dark, an unformed background; as before the creation and explosion of life, which was the Big Bang: in the beginning was darkness. This darkness is the stuff of the unconscious, hidden under the surface of things and even us which is hard to see and comprehend, which appears to be a true mystery. Understanding our unconscious, as well as the mysteries of life is a difficult, but not impossible feat and a gruelling task that not all of us are willing to take on.

The light of the moon shines in the darkness
Klee's magic fish do not claim to be real, they are they are only light that illuminates darkness. They reside in the dark, and are creatures of the unconscious. The artist scratches into the surface of unconscious as well as the canvas beneath there are hidden and vivid figures, plants, colours forms and images. The significance of this process is vital and healing and demonstrates how, within the depths of the sea and dark ignorance, there are small shimmering animals that stir the waters to follow along with the flow of currents. Fish are stories, desires and stories flashes of ideas and visions, dreams that come out of the night. from the dark night. These are games that drown in the density of existence, they are colourful, childlike fantasies, impulses that subconsciously or consciously steer the actions and hopes of people.
Rare and valuable fish
Are these fishes real or not? Are paul klee fish magic and exotic life forms?
The essence of these signs is that fish don't believe in their existence; their existence is not
is determined by external acceptance. We believe that we know and have control over every aspect of our lives, and that we are in control of the whole image of everything however, deep in the sea, the unconscious and the past years of existence, there are the essences and the coincidences of which we are ignorant: unnoticed fish as well as rare and precious creatures. You believe you know everything about who you are, but forget that there exists, in the most obscure and inseparable portion within you, an fish that is wags its tail and, despite the fact that it is kept into a place that is not accessible to the intellect, it releases visceral thoughts and jelly. Then, you forget the distant vision that remained in as a child and encased in a bubblethat was nothing but a dish of fish and the vision is in there, a viper of a fish that turns and turns in the sphere. It now it shows its teeth. You see the gleams of its formless reflections because you have pulled down the shutter and you are in a dark space.
Accustoming the senses
In the still and quiet However, it's easier to perceive light, see motion, and hear rustling sounds; you just have to adjust your perception to the darkness. It can take a while, and it is annoying initially because you get the impression that you are blind. However, once you get used to it, you will be able to get through the darkness and even feed off the darkness. The scales shimmer, bubbles pop in transparent ways, but nothing really is crystal clear, but the whole seems to be complete, a precise image that you can scratch slightly more in the event that we're alive and choose to get to know ourselves a bit more.
Watching them as they swim
What to do with the fish? Should we fish them and bring them to the surface or leave them hidden in the seabed? Isn't it essential to protect their wildness and savagery rather than forcing them into sunlit aquariums under the sun or serve them as the main course in the lunch of logic. In their bizarre, ugly and irrational nature lies their power and the way we can utilize them to clarify our nature. The fish must be watched, allowing ourselves to be seduced by their frequent and constant swimming. It's a meditation, a continuous repetition that allows you to learn more about them every moment. It is important to be aware of the flashes of light that flash before us and quickly disappear as they are a series of lights that momentarily illuminate the dark parts of us. They can be used to peek deep into the darkness of our being.
Ocean Currents
The fish are not immobile and swim between me and you and vice versa; they have discovered a collective stream that roughly runs everyone through and connects us all with common opinions and ideas. The fish know you but do not judge you and therefore don't want borders to limit them. Darkness is their home but they're not afraid of sometimes being caught and having their energy shine through like a flash of lightning, similar to an eureka like a ray energy that travels up the spine before exploding into the brain, similar to the electric current that flows through the light cables. Fish are just like that, bobbing, swimming with their rhythm The ocean is their home , and they're not scared of the lack of walls or borders. In fact, it is in the sphericity the world that they can experience the joy of being able to be there now and not later as well as the freedom to roam forever, knowing of the fact that in all times, they'll return as in the oceans of the unconscious, the path is circular.
