The Pedagogical Sketchbook, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025, is part of the Bauhaus teachers’ publication series, where Paul Klee taught from 1921 to 1931. Its short texts and numerous drawings across 43 lessons explore visual construction and the role of art with depth, lightness, and concision.
Translated into several languages since its release, the Sketchbook remained unpublished in Portuguese until 1981, when Luiz Paulo Baravelli translated the text from the English edition, redesigned it, and manually redrew the many diagrams, publishing the work across the first three issues of his magazine Arte em São Paulo.
This new translation, revised directly from the German, features a completely redesigned graphic project, accompanied by a facsimile edition of the original book and a photographic essay on the 1980s edition.
