The Journey to Tunisia is the name given to a journey of great importance in art history that the three painters Paul Klee, August Macke and Louis Moilliet undertook to Tunisia in April 1914. On this journey, Klee and Macke in particular were strongly influenced by colors, shapes and light, which were to have a lasting influence on their artistic work on the threshold of modern abstract art. The Tunisia Journey is the subject of numerous art historical observations and analyses, which see in this journey the overcoming of German Expressionism to non-objective, abstract and modern art, especially in the case of Paul Klee. In art history, it is seen as a key event in the art of the 20th century.

110 years have passed since the Swiss-German artist Paul Klee visited Tunisia. During his short stay between Tunis, Hammamet, the city of Kairouan and its coasts, something happened that his eyesight and insight did not expect. He rediscovered the values ​​of Tunisian light, which are only like its sun. The Tunisian intellectual and journalist residing in Germany, Noureddine Ben Redjeb, in coordination with a group of German painters, redraws Paul Klee’s Tunisian journey.
