‘Park near Lu’ was painted by Paul Klee in 1938 and is an interpretation of the vegetation and leafage Klee saw at a park in the city of Lucerne in Switzerland.

Paul Klee's paintings were influenced by multiple art movements that included expressionism, cubism, and surrealism. He developed a unique painting style that had a major impact in 20th-century modernism.

He and his colleague, Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, both taught at the Bauhaus school of art, design and architecture in Germany.
