    • 2025 May 7, Nina Siegal, quoting Annie Bourneuf, “A Rarely Seen Angel With a Lesson From History”, in The New York Times‎[1], →ISSN, archived from the original on 8 May 2025:
      “It’s this snaggletoothed, little bird-footed homunculus caricature,” Bourneuf said. “Many artists at this time were trying to make new altarpieces. Klee tended to take a very skeptical distance from the sort of grandiose projects of many of his expressionist peers, so I think it’s actually kind of mocking those hopes.”
