Their perspectives are usually regarded as far away from one another, yet Watson places them in dialog.

Crescent Moon over the Rational unearths an evolving theoretical constellation of interpretations and their questions (theoretical, creative, and political) that deal with and continuously renew Klee's wealthy legacies.
