The Metropolitan Museum of Art Klee May Picture Silk Pocket Square
35.95 USD
Gifts for art lovers, inspired by The Met collection. A prolific artist, writer, and teacher, Paul Klee (German, b. Switzerland, 1879-1940) was a distinctive force in 20th-century art. He made playful, inventive works characterized by a highly individual style of abstracted forms and symbols. The design on this stylish silk pocket square celebrates May Picture (1925), a painting on cardboard in the Museum's collection of modern and contemporary art. This work belongs to Klee's Magic Square series, derived from his 1914 Tunisian watercolors in which he fractured the landscape into squares.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Autumn Grasses Rectangular Frame
52.95 USD
This striking frame is inspired by an early 17th-century Japanese lacquered wood tebako, a box for small personal items, in The Met collection. Autumnal flowers and grasses such as chrysanthemums, pampas grass, and bush clover embellish the lid, while the sides are adorned with stylized paulownia crests. Kyoto was the center of Japanese lacquer art by the late 16th century, when luxurious maki-e ("sprinkled picture") decoration was more liberally applied to household objects that weren't traditionally deemed worthy of such exquisite craftsmanship.
