The Miyagi Museum of Art has highlighted Paul Klee’s use of oil transfer in a post about the exhibition ‘The Age of Art’. The museum’s message, published on 18 August 2026, focuses on the technique in Klee’s work ‘Ph博士の診察室装置’, rather than announcing exhibition dates or venue information.
According to the post, Klee became a teacher at the Bauhaus after the end of the First World War. The German school is described in the museum’s Japanese-language text as a comprehensive institution for art and design. Around this period, Klee worked on establishing and theorising new artistic techniques.
The featured work uses what the museum calls “oil transfer”. In this process, a drawing made with pen or pencil is transferred onto an oil painting. The post presents the technique as an example of Klee’s practical and theoretical investigations during the period associated with his Bauhaus teaching.
The museum’s description links Klee’s technical experimentation to the broader subject of ‘The Age of Art’, but provides no further information in the source post about the exhibition’s curatorial scope, participating artists, presentation venue or schedule. It also does not state that the exhibition is being held at the Miyagi Museum of Art.
The post directs readers to the museum’s social-media publication for the original notice. The available source material is limited to this short exhibition-related explanation of Klee’s oil-transfer process and the historical context of his work around the Bauhaus period.
