Abstract
Paul Klee (1879-1940), the 20th century Swiss-German artist, suffered and died from complications of systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma). In a series of clinical and historical vignettes the various symptoms and complications of Klee's scleroderma are described. Here, I present evidence of Klee's multiple gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and the significant impact they had on the quality of his life.
