Classic | Paul Klee | Autumn | Free Artwork | Digital Original Abstract
Sometimes, in the case of wall art, a print of one of your favourite paintings, or a print from an artist whose work you enjoy is exactly what you are looking for. In this case, I came across a fantastic source of original art, digitally enhanced by rawpixel from a public domain* collection.
The Harbinger of Autumn (1922) by Paul Klee is such an example, and another of my particular favourites. For this piece of wall art, before you download and save, please note that I have further enhanced the image and layered slightly, and be aware that some slight resizing and cropping may have occurred (and that you may need to adjust to fit your print medium).

Paul Klee
This public domain art, The Harbinger of Autumn (1922), is a high resolution digitally enhanced copy of an original painting from Paul Klee (1879–1940). Known as the father of Abstract Art and a central figure of the Bauhaus movement, this Swiss–German artist began his painting training in 1898 in Munich and later involved with the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter, founded by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc.
Influenced by Cubism and Surrealism, he is best known for minimal stick figures, abstract forms, vivid colors and his usage of symbols drawn from imagination, poetry, music, literature, and the world around him. In 1920, Walter Gropius invited Klee to teach at the Bauhaus, where he became one of the most celebrated teachers.
His artworks later inspired the next generations of artists and designers including Joan Miró, Salvador Dali, and Mark Rothko.
Image Resolution
The image resolution is normally stated in pixels. However, what defines the physical size of any image you have as a download is in which format you would like to reproduce the image and therefore the dpi (dots per inch) required.
For example, to use an image on a website, 72dpi is optimal. However, to print in medium quality, 150dpi (minimum) is required. That said, for the best print quality, and that used by most commercial printers, then 300dpi is needed.
To put this in some perspective, an image of 2000x2000 pixels would give the following sizes.....
At 72dpi this would be 27.7 x 27.7 inches (705 x 705 mm)
At 150dpi this would be 13.3 x 13.3 inches (338 x 338 mm)
At 300dpi this would be 6.7 x 6.7 inches (169 x 169 mm)
Therefore, as a general rule (in dimensional terms), and a quick reference guide, each 1000 pixels is equal to
13.8 inches (352.7 mm) at 72dpi
or
6.66 inches (169.3 mm) at 150dpi
or
3.33 inches (84.6 mm) at 300dpi.
