Angelus Novus

Angelus Novus is a 1920 monoprint by the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, made using an oil transfer method Klee invented, measuring about 31.8 by 24.2 centimeters and depicting an angel figure. The work became widely known through its association with the philosopher Walter Benjamin, who bought it in 1921 and later used the image, in his 1940 essay Theses on the Philosophy of History, to develop his influential concept of the angel of history. It is held at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
