This Demonstration is dedicated to the memory of the painter Paul Klee (1879–1940). It uses layered disk segments and clusters of alternating colored strips to create abstract art that looks like ripples on water.

Graphs 1 to 13 show examples of one type of building block, and graphs 14 to 37 show examples of what you can do with these building blocks. You can read more information in the Details section.

With the many randomizing options, you can also let the program generate abstract art automatically.
