Numbers and letters At the flying reinforcement division in Schleissheim, Klee’s responsibilities included the painting of aeroplane coverings. During this period he painted his first works on leftover scraps of aeroplane linen and using letter stencils, which led in the years that followed to further experiments with fabrics and letters. From January 1917 Klee worked as a clerk in the cash department of the flying school in Gersthofen. This book-keeping activity also left traces in his work – for example, he sometimes integrated columns of numbers into his compositions. Some works were produced on lined paper on which he performed his calculations, or on stained blotting paper.
